I have never been a Snape/Lilly shipper, however there are a few 
things to consider:

1) Why would a Slytherin student with the ambitions that Snape had 
about 20 years earlier call himself a "Half-Blood"? It is not title 
you would give yourself to advance your position in that house.

It seems "HBP" would endear him to muggle born, (ie. Lilly)

2) The directions that Harry followed reminded Slughorn of Lilly's 
talent. So did Lilly and Snape swap notes on Potions, etc?

3) Dumbledore was assured Snape showed REMORSE after he caused the 
death of Lilly (and James who he owed a life debt to). Dumbledore 
may have double checked his remorse with things we have already 
seen. (eg: the pledge the DA members had to sign, or the Unbreakable 
Vow)
