Snape was propelled by his love for Lily... not for any love he had of a 'son of Potter's.' It was Lily, that trace of Lily in him that he fought for, and if you think about it, eventually died for.

His dying wish was to see Lily, so since he couldn't do that, he did the next best thing... he looked into her eyes.

*ish a huge Snape and Lily fan... and loves any and all symbolism*

Okay you're post soo brought tears to my eyes!!!

I think you hit the nail on the head - beautifully said. I statrted crying from when Voldie told Snape he was going to kill him because of the stupid wand and all through the next chapter.

Poor Snape - he gave up soo much and no one really respected him or trusted him. Snape gave up soo much, more than redeemed his past mistake and he got nothing in return.

I thougt it was so wonderful how Harry ackowleged Snape in the end with Voldemort and later with his own child.
