thanks for posting that - but I am not a shipper of this theory (nor 
am I a shipper at all, for that matter)
See - I don't like the Lily theory or any 'love' theory, for that 
matter, when it comes to Snape.  I think he had a moment of 
conscience and that is why he turned back to DD - it makes Snape a 
bit more noble to do it on his own, not because of any unrequited 
love.  Now if you want to say that Snape loved Lily like a sister or 
something like that, like how Harry loves Hermoine in a non-romantic 
way, I can buy that.   but romantic love?  nope.  Unless Rowling 
drops a bomb in book 7, I doubt she will make this ship.  She HATES 
Snape and obviously loves Lily - it doesn't make sense.  But I have 
been known to be wrong.
