Did Snape really care for Harry?

Hi!

I have my own theory on this ... that while Snape did NOT care for
Harry, he did in fact despise Voldemort for killing Lily. (I imagine
he felt as a good servant Voldemort would reward him with Lily)

As Harry was destined (by prophecy) to be the one who COULD destroy
Voldemort, I wonder if any consideration Snape had for Harry was due
to the fact that (through Harry) Voldey would get his "due".

In DH, JK shows Snape is (seemingly) so tortured by the thought of
what could have been with Lily - that I imagine any time he saw Harry
his mind pulsed with what could have been, the child they could have
had together ... and the pain was only softened by the fact that Harry
had Lily's eyes and in looking at them he could see a part of Lily.

That's my 2 cents.
