One of my interpretations is that teenaged Snape clung to Lily as some kind of saviour, that she could pull him back from a life that he could objectively see was wrong, but didn't have to moral compass or fiber or emotional maturity to pull himself back. And she fails because love doesn't conquer everything, and it pushed him over the edge.

Then he grew up, and time twisted what was already pretty mangled in the first place. Maybe he realized he could have been a much better friend. Or maybe his obsession just compounded with regret or longing.

Kinda related, but I think Snape only left Voldemort after Voldemort used Lily's death against Snape ("It's all you're fault. You could have saved her. And she was so kind to you when you were kids." Some kind of keep-the-ranks-in-line thing or something.).

and by Lily's death, I actually mean the breaking of their friendship after the "mudblood!"-fight.
