Oooooh! What is the Regulus Theory? I haven't heard that one yet.

I agree. I don't like the idea of lovesick Snape either. Which is why 
I've been so averse to the "Snape loves Lily" theory so far. I don't 
actaully believe Snape loves Lily, but that he might have once 
admired her, maybe kind of liked her romantically, but felt he was 
made a fool of when she started dating James. So what if Snape isn't 
lovesick as much as he is bitter? Might he be upset that he once had 
feelings for her? Bitter that she fell for James? Constantly reminded 
of James and her everytime he looks at Harry? Not in the 
schmoopy "Aww, Lily" way, but in a "I'm alone and bitter and don't 
want to be reminded of the past" way.
