Toonmili: People don't like the idea of Snape being in Love, well, it is much better than Peter being in love. At least Snape is a man, not a coward.

Besides when Voldemort returned he said: "one has left me forever
and he will be killed..." Everyone agrees he was talking about
Snape. You'll notice he said that Snape has LEFT... meaning on his
own accord...not because he was a coward...not because he had
betrayed him. You'll also notice that Voldemort is quite certain
that he has left forever (meaning never to return).  But why is he so certain that Snape has left him forever? Maybe because he knows that he has done something that would make Snape leave him forever, i.e. killed Lily when Snape asked or begged him not too.  He would want to to be in Snape's good graces because Snape is a very skilled wizard and the most gifted death eater, he would be a horrible loss.  He wouldn't care about what Wormtail wanted. He probably would have killed wormtail if he even made such a request. Once Voldemort got the secret from Wormtail he was no longer useful, the order would have known he was a spy. He only entertains him now because he came and found him. But you will notice how quick he was to get rid of him as soon as his death eaters came back. He has him be Snape's assistant. No other Death Eaters have assistants. This shows that Snape is indeed the favorite.
