Ok, so I had to explain this to my husband too, and I see a couple
people asked or complained this wasn't explained.



Every time Snape looked at Harry - he saw Lily.

DH p678 (all references US version)
"Her son lives.  He has her eyes, precisely her eyes.  You remember
the shape and color of Lily Evan's eyes, I am sure?"
"DON'T" bellowed Snape.  "Gone...dead..."
"Is this remorse, Severus?"
"I wish..I wish I were dead..."
"And what use would that be to anyone?" said Dumbledore coldly.  "If
you loved Lily Evans, if you truely loved her, then your way forward
is clear."

....

DH p687 - Snape reveals with his patronous that he still Loves Lily.

DH p658
"Look...at...me..." he whispered.
The green eyes found the black, but after a second, something in the
depths of the dark pari seemed to vanish, leaving them fixed, blank,
and empty.



Yes, Snape did it all for Lily, and every time he had to remember why
he was doing what he was doing, he could find Lily's eyes in Harry.

And on his death bed, he wasn't looking at Harry's eyes, he was
looking at Lily's eyes.
