Potioncat:
I don't think she would be depressed at all. I think she would grieve, and take action as an Order member.

I'm not sure how the story would continue, because Harry is the one with the power--so if LV did kill him---what's next? Does some other one with power come along later? If he didn't kill Harry--why and what would have happened to LV?

At any rate, I don't see Snape continuing as a loyal DE, nor do I see any appreciation toward Snape from Lily if her family is dead. Whether they could work together for LV's destruction is another matter.
