IMO Snape's "worst memory" was calling Lily a mudblood. 
If he felt unrequited love for her, that was the moment whan he blew 
any chance which he ever may have thought he had.  Even if it was 
just a matter of Lily being someone who was kind to him, that would 
also be a particularly bad memory for him, the moment when he said 
something so hurtful to her that it ended the "friendship".

Jamie:
I really think you've hit it on the head here. I also think that the 
relationship between James' gang and Snape was never good similar to the way Harry and 
Draco's gang reacts to each other. If Snape did have a thing for Lily and 
wanted it to go further it would make sense that doing something to ruin that 
would upset him. I don't think however that it was reciprocated. I still believe 
that James did what he could to "attract" attention from Lily and despite her 
reaction to him in the scene I think her attention opened the door for him 
just as he wanted. Remember he was popular at school and there are many people 
who show disdain for the popular kids but secretly want to be a part of the 
group!

I also want to address something in an earlier thread. Am I missing the 
timeline here? I don't believe PP could have told DD about what happened at GH. He 
was presumed dead after the incident and going to him would have blown his 
cover. Only Sirius knew he was still alive and he was wisked away to Azkaban 
before he could tell anybody. Was there some time in between the incident with 
Sirius and LV at GH that I am missing?
