Bart:
    Remember, this is just speculation on my part. The Snape's Worst 
Memory (SWM) meeting between Snape and Lily was reminiscent, at least to 
me, of the part of A CHRISTMAS CAROL where Scrooge and his fiance break 
up. It's clear from the conversation that this was a long time coming. 
Lily gave Snape a choice: Her or the Death Eaters. Snape chose the Death 
Eaters.
