Would he sing, would he dance?

Lily DID love Snape, he broke her heart. That day down by the lake, when he called her a Mudblood out of frustration. The title of the chapter is "Snape's Worst Memory," initially I and many others thought that this was because of Sirius and James' teasing, but Snape dealt with that on a daily basis. Once JKR revealed that Snape loved Lily I saw that Snape knew he had lost her from that moment forward and that is why that is his worst memory. The destruction of the relationship, the love, he valued the most all gone with one careless word.

No, with Lily in his life he could not have become the Deatheater/double agent we knew him as.

I have a feeling that Snape was more mellow and less a bully before Harry's arrival at Hogwarts. Were he to have married Lily, the point would have been moot, as Harry would not exist.

I think Snape would have been a excellent father. To carry love in his heart for so many years after the death of his Beloved speaks of great loyalty and commitment, things essential to fatherhood.

He might have grown out of his poor bathing habits as many young men do, but with no desire to find the love of another he did not see the point in cleaning up, I think. Perhaps he used it as a barrier to keep people out?

Some people are just not meant to sing or dance even in great joy, I think Snape is one of them.
