The following is not original and it's probably been brought up here
before, but my search timed out, so maybe it would be appropriate to
bring it up again. (I am completely on the fence myself, when it comes
to Snape and Lily)

-----------------------------------------
 "Potter!" said Snape suddenly. "What would I get if I added powdered
root of *asphodel* to an infusion of *wormwood*?" 
 [...]
"Let's try again, Potter. Where would you look if I told you to find
me a *bezoar*?" 
[...]
 "What is the difference, Potter, between *monkshood* and *wolfsbane*?"
-----------------------------------------
In the language of flowers:
My regrets follow you to the grave. I am infused with your absence. 
Find me an antidote for my misanthropy.
