Allie:

I doubt it was a heart-to-heart (can someone with almost no soul still 
have a heart?  :)  ), more like a 5 second exchange.  I doubt 
Voldemort even dreaded discussing with Snape why he had killed Lily.

This is how I imagine it:

Voldemort: And you understand, Severus, why the silly girl had to be 
eliminated.
Snape:  Yes, my Lord.
Voldemort:  Surely you must see now that there are women worthier of 
your attention, women of purer blood.
Snape:  Of course, my Lord.

Very touching, isn't it.  Probably Snape's biggest challenge at 
performing Occlumency.
