Betsy Hp:
I don't know, recoiling in horror doesn't seem like the response of a 
loving friend.  I *do* think Lily would have recoiled, but that's 
because, deep down, Lily was a bit repulsed by Snape, I think.  To 
borrow a phrase, he was beneath her.  There's nothing of love in that, 
platonic or otherwise.
