Dear Severus Snape,
You can't deny it any longer -- all the evidence suggests that you loved Lily Evans. JKR says that she can't answer that question because it would give too much away and says that Lily was a very popular girl. We know that the fact that Harry has Lily's eyes is going to be important in book seven. How could eye color be important? Probably because you see Lily's eyes every time you look at Harry and you feel disgust with yourself every time you see them and realize you are the reason she is dead today. When Harry asked Dumbledore why you came to the side of the Order, Dumbledore said it was because you learned what Voldy was going to do with the information about the prophecy that you supplied him. Harry replied with , "but Snape hated my father!" and the subject moved on. It's definitely a trick of JKR's to come close to saying something important and moving away from it at the last moment, and in this case she deflected following up on how you did hate his father, but no mention was made of his mother, Lily. It's perfectly clear. You loved her. Just admit it. Bet you won't have the cojones to answer this one.
Lily's Eyes.
Dear Eyes,
This is an advice column. I advise you to refrain from speculating about things that are none of your affair.
S. Snape
