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*

So nicely put, Sarah *tear*

The moment he said that line I knew he wanted to take one last look into Lily's eyes. In that precise second, I also started bawling, and didn't stop until the end of chapter 33. It's one of the most touching lines in the series, by far.

I was always a sort of S/L shipper, but reading through those memories was just priceless. I don't know who wouldn't love [or at least like] Snape after this book..
