Would Snape's mission and sacrifice be any less if he had been able 
to move on from the memory of Lily? I don't believe so. In fact, in 
the end, he had moved on. He protected the Order, he protected the
students at Hogwarts. He risked his own soul by killing Dumbledore
because DD wanted to die peacefully and not risk Draco's soul. That
went way above what DD ordered him to do after Lily's death - which
was to protect Harry only.

Chrj.Smit:
It's true that Snape was given more chores to do as the story went 
on, however, it was his choice.

When he met DD on that rock, he agreed to do whatever he could to 
honor the memory of the woman he loved and lost (Lily Potter).

While that love was not reciprocated by her, Snape still felt 
remorse for what happened to her, and it's through that love 
that he protected Harry, even if they hated each other.
