JKR: Yes, he has, which in some ways makes him more culpable
even than Voldemort, who never has."

The sniggering little girl, I divine, will be the one whom
Snape loved. Who she is I have as yet to divine. Not, IMHO,
as stated above, Lily Evans.

colebiancardi here:

please note, JKR nor the questioner, asked if Snape LOVED someone, but
if Snape has ever been loved?  Big difference.  And quite frankly, I
think the one person that loved Snape was his mother.  No proof, of
course.  But I just wanted to point out that the question was "Has
Snape ever been loved by anyone?" not "Has Snape ever loved someone?"

(I think that Snape probably loved his mum and even Dumbledore....but
no one else)
