     Morty wanted to kill Harry; he was pretty indifferent to killing 
James and Lily. On the other hand, he was completely lacking in empathy, 
and had no problem getting rid of anything or anybody in his way in the 
easiest effective way possible. Note that he was willing to let Lily 
live, because she was useful to him alive (as a gift to ensure the 
loyalty of a useful tool), but had no problem killing her the moment she 
became extra work for him.

     "Half-Blood Prince" was a fanciful nickname Snape made up for 
himself, a pun on the fact that he was a "half blood" (his father was 
Muggle), and his mother's maiden name was "Prince".
