<<And was called a mudblood for her efforts! I've never gotten the feeling, from the texts that there was any sort of schoolboy/girl crush from either Snape or Lily, but I know that some people think there was.>>
Violet now:
One thing you must keep in mind is that Snape was a Slytherin and therefore socialized with purebloods. Also, he was desperately trying to fit in the pureblood stereotype. A relationship with a muggleborn, even a simple crush, the smallest amount of feelings towards a muggleborn would make him a target for everyone he socialized with. So, obviously he couldnt show his feelings in public and what a better way to hide your feelings than attacking the person you like/love?
School days were horrible to Snapes love life. If you accept that he liked/loved Lily Evans, he not only had to hide that fact but also had to watch James Potter, the one boy he hated more than anything in the world (and I do believe it was mostly jealousy of James coolness about being himself that began their enmity), was doing everything he could to go out with her.
So, I agree with Joe when he said:
<< (...) that schoolboys sometimes say and do inappropriately horrible things even about and/or to girls they are attracted to. Especially if they are on the defensive anyway.>>
