 You know I think there might be a bit of one sided Snape love for 
Lily come out but is there really much canon for it beyond the fact 
that she didn't care for James hexing him?

Snape/Lily pairing of some sort be it friendship or what but the 
memory could be there to set up the reasons James and Lily got 
together as well.

Well, I agree with you completely. If I would saw only that scene 
coming, I would not have necessarily thought that it should point to 
Snape/Lily ship ( yeah, definitely one sided).

But as I said earlier, strangely to me the strongest evidence in 
favor of this ship ( Gah!) to me is the evidence of omission ( 
although I realize that usually it is weak evidence, but in this 
case to me it is not), although this scene would play out as 
possible hint too IMO.

Snape NEVER says anything about Lily - never, ever, ever and since I 
don't think that Snape is acting when he torments Harry, I think he 
is a vicious bastard, who is totally confused between Harry and 
James, I am sure that he would have said anything bad about her just 
to make Harry feel horrible.

Just think about it, even when Snape running away after killing 
Dumbledore, he grabs at the possibility to throw "you and your 
filthy father" at Harry. I mean, really, I am not quite sure how 
after this outburst it could be seriously argued that James is not 
always on Snape's mind, you know.

But he is silent about Lily, ALWAYS. I find it highly suspicious and 
highly unfortunate too :)

as Snape/Lily don't we? Both females were nice at some point to 
unpleasant males and that is about it.

LOLOL! Now THAT is funny. As I said not too much canon, no, you are 
right, but too many suspicious hints, IMO

Oh, just wanted to thank you - that is PRECISELY why I object to 
calling Draco a victim too. Amazing post :)
