Now this is very plausible. I've been wondering if
there hadn't been a sort of red herring in that worst
memory scene because despite the hanging upside-down
bit etc. I couldn't help thinking he must have worse
than that - either before or after.
I do think his turning to hte Order had something to
do with Lily in some form or other but I don't
subscribe to the "Snape was in love with Lily"
scenario, at least not in so many words.
I also have always liked the idea that while Harry is
hard for Snape to have around because he is so like
James, that it is made worse by the fact that it is
Lily who looks out at him with those green eyes - and
therefore Harry is a constant reminder of her too.
