I think Harry having Lily's eyes just added to Snape's lifelong
torment.  Her eyes were a constant reminder of his love and
heartbreak, while the rest of Harry was a constant reminder of
James.  How hard it must have been for Snape during the occlumency
lessons when he had to penetrate those eyes! All for the protection
of one who reminded him so much of the man he hated!  Now that's
love!
