Did Lily actually love Snape?

Her refusal to do so even though she had a choice is what created the magic that protected Harry. The deep, unrequited love Snape held for Lily for almost all of his life also influenced his Patronus, which took the form of a silver doe – the same as hers, caused him to spy on Voldemort for Albus Dumbledore.

Snape was in love with Lily and can’t move on because of his guilt. Through his memories, it’s revealed that he was worried about Harry’s future when Lily and James died and that he was afraid of seeing Harry when he’s old enough to attend Hogwarts. He can hardly bear to see Harry every day, being reminded of Lily and everything he lost.
