I think if he'd cleaned up his act during school, he might have had a chance with Lily, albeit a slim one. But he shot himself in the foot with his Dark Arts creepiness. But yeah, you can't help but feel bad for the guy when you realize how awful it would be to constantly see and have to protect the kid of the woman you love and the man you hate.

Although he felt like Harry was James reincarnated, he did protect him and did it for Lily. Someone for Harry to count on that JK eventually takes away from him. I'm super excited for Part 2.

After that I knew Dumbledore had something on him that we didn't know, so I wasn't worried after book 6. My mom is the only one I know of who guessed after the 5th book that Snape was in love with Lily. I wasn't so sure about that. And then it was true! <br /><br />Snape's awesome, and I don't consider him a villain. He's just misunderstood!<br /><br />Poor Albus Severus.
