MA: Oh, here's one [from our forums] that I've really got to ask you.
Has Snape ever been loved by anyone?

JKR: Yes, he has, which in some ways makes him more culpable even than
Voldemort, who never has.

(From the interview posted in mugglenet.com, part 3)


Reading this fragment made me wonder this: what if (one of) the
person(s) who loved Snape was Lily? Not necesarily as a lover, maybe
as a friend. Don't you think that the self-loathing that seems to be
eating Snape could be explained like this? Maybe they were almost
friends, maybe Snape almost trusted Lily, but the Shrieking Shack
incident made him suspect that she had had something to do with it and
broke with her. I think that all his nastiness could be explained
better if Snape knows but doesn't want to acknowledge that he made a
mistake about Lily, and therefore his responsability in James and
Lily's wedding, and their death.
