Something just occurred to me.....do you think that the notes that 
Snape made in his potions textbook under his 'Half Blood prince' 
guise were really copied from Lily's alterations and improvements to 
the recipes that Snape noted whilst they were in class at the same 
time?  Perhaps he admired her abilities and tried to imitate them??  
If so I don't know how this fits into the plot at all but it could be 
relevant in his attitude to Harry - that Snape thinks Harry doesn't 
match his mother's talent.  Thoughts anyone??
