I thought the HBP made it perfectly clear that he was. He explained that he pretended to be good on Voldemort's orders and HE KILLED DUMBLEDORE! What greater proof is there than that?

Pride can cause us to do and say awful things, even to those we care about. Machisimo at it's worst. Snape is a guy humiliated by other guys and he’s trying to save face.

It was a really mean-spirited thing to say… I don’t believe most teenage boys or girls would do this to their best friends, even in a position like that.

Friendship is probably slightly less shameful than a crush so far as muggleborn Gryffindors go.

Harry would never have called Hermione a “filthy little mudblood”, under no circumstances. This would probably end any loving relationship. And I can’t imagine that James ever regarded Snape as a rival for Lily’s affection. After all, he was the good-looking popular Quidditch captain and Snape was the unattractive little outsider. shadowquill, it would have been good for Snape to be friends with Lily, but somehow I don’t see it.

Platonic but loving, you know? I can't help but remember the hillariously serious scene in Goblet of Fire during which Krum confronts Harry about his feelings for Hermione and Harry has to work hard to keep from laughing.
