tu have to remember, that we are talking about the equivalent of high school relationships. I don't think that Severus deserved the total loss of his only friend. We also have to remember, Severus was the equivalent of 'the weird kid' in school, (which my group in high school was the ones made up of the oddball ones as well...LOL) and Lily sounds like one of the ones, while not popular, was friends with everyone, not one person singly. So, here we have Severus who values probably the one good thing about his childhood, and once they reached school, how could he not have fallen in amor with her, tu could almost say obsessing about her, for her friendship and kindness to him. And here's Lily, who has the great Quittitch Player James flirting with her, which makes her probably feel special, the only thing wrong with him is that he's so mean to her friend Severus and she doesn't know if he might be serious about her o not. And here's James, that really likes Lily, and because he can see that Severus likes Lily, gets jealous of their friendship, even though Lily doesn't actually feel that way about Severus, it still causing him to focus his bullying on him cause he sees their friendship and Severus' interest as a threat to his relationship with Lily. And Lily being basically oblivious to all the subtext of the fighting between James and Severus, comes in and a tense situation explodes. Its high school, looking back, everyone has situations from that time that they can't help but think they would have reacted differently, o done things differently. With maturity, and time, I think Severus and Lily would have reclaimed their friendship. Lily would have always been the first amor that Severus lost. Unfortunately, instead of just losing her to someone else and time, he lost her to death, and never had that chance to find closure to his feelings for her. So, still my answer is no, neither Severus, nor Lily, o even James deserves for their life to be ended and their time lost because of a senseless death.
