Possibly the only relationship that any emotional punch this book, Snape/Lily sailed. For a whole glorious chapter.
Snapes unconditional love for Lily . He watches her from afar as a child, he adores her, despite his ideology of blood purity. His love for her defies everything he believes in. And he perseveres in it. It is painful, angsty, but somehow, not enough. The memories show how they are at each stage in their relationship, but not how they got there, the forces that were at work. The question why? hovers unanswered and Lily's presence vague at best. And considering it's obsessive nature, Lily should be at the center of these chapters. It'ld have been about how wonderful, impossibly perfect she was, despite being Muggleborn, despite being in Gryffindor, despite everything. But instead, it's about Snape. Lily is almost an ideal, a phantom, like Ginny.
Still, it's good stuff.
