Yes, I see it as an evidence that he likes Lily and lies to her. IMO 
of course.

Since to me Lily's comment is an evidence a plenty, I believe that 
his using M words to other Muggleborns is definitely his ugly 
viewpoint, but I would say as much, I do believe that he changed in 
that regard.

I think him telling Phineas not to use M word is a strong evidence of 
that indeed, but when he was young? I think since that first comment 
to Lily, I think he could not stand Muggleborns, even if it is 
implied and the only evidence is his conversations with Lily and I 
think Lily simply had it.

I know I would have had enough at some point, no matter how much I 
loved the person as a friend, if he was calling people of my etnicity 
ugly names for years, I know at some point I would have told that 
person to take a hike and never ever approach me again.

In fact, I blame Lily for NOT breaking up with Snape earlier. She 
must have really liked him indeed.
