Snape did not want anyone to know about his love for Lily Evans because he felt ashamed and vulnerable due to his association with the Death Eaters and the Dark Arts. He also feared that revealing his love would expose his emotional weakness and jeopardize his position within the wizarding world.

He loved Lily Evans (Harry's mother), but she only considered him a close friend. She was his only real friend; they had become friends as children.

Why did Severus Snape have the same patronus as Lily Potter?

Wizards' Patronuses can sometimes change shape. Severus Snape loved Lily (Evans) Potter and so his patronus changed shape to the same one as Lily, a doe. It is very likely that Snape's patronus didn't actually change shape and was always a doe since he had loved Lily all his life.


Was Severus Snape in love with Harry Potter's mother?

Yes, Severus Snape was always in love with his childhood friend and Harry Potter's mother, Lily (Evans) Potter. Snape ruined their friendship and any chance for a relationship due to his involvement in the Dark Arts, which led to him calling Lily a mudblood. This is a large part of the reason why Snape hates Harry's father, James, who frequently bullied him throughout his school years and then ended up with the woman he loved.

J.K. Rowling said in one of her interviews that Lily "might have grown to love [Snape] romantically, had he not loved the Dark Arts so much." So, her falling in love with him was a possibility, at one time, but he ruined it by immersing himself too deeply into the Dark Arts.


Did Severus Snape and Lily Evans ever kiss?
