Unpopular opinion #2
Severus wasn't in love with Lily.
He had an unhealthy emotional attachment towards her because she was his first friend, the first person ever to be nice to him and whom he could trust. There isn't a single paragraph or sentence in the canon material that implies his feelings for her were romantic, beyond the patronus thing, and that doesn't necessarily mean it was romantic.
She was his best friend, they grew up together, and Severus' life outside of her was miserable (abusive parents, bullying, bigoted housemates, the death eater cause grooming him), so it makes perfect sense he thinks of her to cast a patronus. His only happy memories were probably with her.
She was his family, his anchor, and I dare to say, his sister. And when she died because of the prophecy he overheard, he felt like he killed her himself. He condemned the only person who ever cared about him.
That's why I can't stand the common interpretation of Snape as this lovesick/simp/obsessed stalker in memes and fanon stuff. He literally said it himself, in the books:
"I thought we were friends? Best friends?"
He didn't sound disappointed, or sad, or bothered. He was stating the truth of what he felt. He wanted Lily as his friend, nothing more. And like any normal person, he was broken when he lost her.
UGH ‘please, please, please’ by sabrina carpenter is SO SNILY!!!

i dont understand why people say that lily hates snape and could never forgive him
i think she and harry are so alike and if harry is able to forgive snape then she would too
snape and lily also had such a deep relationship and history i feel like she could never hate him
people want lily to be to bitter and petty and angry because they think she deserves to be
because they think of themselves in her shoes
but she is not you or me
she is lily evans and what if she wants to be resilient in her own way
what if she wants to remain kind and forgiving and understanding and wanting to see change past the use of words and apologies
maybe thats all she was waiting for from snape, change
but because he did not receive her forgiveness then he thought himself incapable of change and turned further into voldemort’s graces (other factors may apply as well obvs)
and this only leads them further apart until her death which even after, she is kind and guiding harry and she never speaks ill of snape
