Muellem: 


I  posted this before and the more I think about it, the more it  makes
sense(at least to me)

The theme that DD is trying to drill  into Harry's head in HBP is love.
Not romantic, sexual love - but love.  Harry's mother saved him by
love. Voldemort's mother loved him, but she  died when he was born. so,
LV never had a mother's love. So, that is why I  think who loved Snape
- it is simple. His mother.

from  interview:
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

I cannot imagine that a boy that was as good-loooking as Riddle  NEVER
was loved in a romantic way.  Even Draco gets some.  I  believe JKR is
alluding to a mother's love in her passage. 
I think you misunderstood my question.  I was referring to Snape being  
culpable, not Snape being loved.  Was she referring to all his wrongdoings  or to a 
specific event/s?
