actually, i agree with cruentum. i'm attempting not to speculate too much, because i want to avoid any and all possible spoilers... but i'd say snape crushing on lily seems quite likely, given everything (both in the books and what jo has said in the past). i've actually been trying to steel myself for it...
honestly, though, i don't think i'd hate it that much. it doesn't seem entirely out of character, and if nothing else, would add a nice layer of angst to his younger self. mostly, i think it's that i'm not sure i want solid canon evidence that snape is straight. i much prefer having that open-ended.
. . .
although, now that i think of it... i guess the real question is, were his potential feelings for lily a large contributing factor in his joining the death eaters, and did he intentionally try to get the potters killed out of jealousy/revenge. because that is also something jo could seriously do, and that would be totally lame and out of character (out of the character most of us would like snape to have, anyway >_>).
...er, sorry. i'm rambling, as per usual. and this isn't even my conversation. oops?
