Well of course there's no cannon yet. Otherwise we'd be sure. It's 
just a theory right now. But if Snape admired Lily( and JK says that 
the fact that Lily was a popular girl is important to the story, so 
someone else or some other people liking her is important) and hated 
James, he might have been upset or jealous that they ended up 
together. He might have felt "the greatest regret of his life" (DD's 
words in HBP) at having in advertently caused her death. He also might 
feel anger towards Harry for being the proof and result of James and 
Lily's love and also part of the reason Lily died( she sacrificed 
herself for Harry instead of taking Voldemort's offer to save 
herself). This is not cannon, but a theory. A guess that in my opinion 
isn't contradicted by anything else I know of.
