Good Morning!! I remember reading in either OOP or 1/2 Blood Prince that Snape indeed had a crush on Lily Potter. Not only was he attracted to her physically, but she used to step up for Snape when James Potter and his friends would torment him. How could he not love her?

Add some more salt to this wizard's many wounds, not only does James Potter torment him throughout his stay at Hogwart's, James ends up marrying Lily. 
   
Life did not treat Snape too well, I'm afraid.
