Whereas I think it is love, but isn't romantic or at least shouldn't be romanticized. His feelings originate from the same affections and desires that make other people fall in love, but he lacks the ability to express them like a healthy individual because he never learned the skills to do so. His choices in life further changed him and mangled those feelings to where they are as we find them in the story.

To add to the above though, I have to say that this is how I feel about it and I'm not sure JKR actually agrees. She seems to think Snape's love for Lily is pure in some way, since it's what allows him to cast a Patronus where no other DE can. But I'm iffy on that.

She didn't say Death Eaters are incapable of creating patronuses, just that they never did because they were on the same side as Dementors. They probably could've done it if they had to for some reason.

One of the most evil characters, Umbridge, could produce one, and she produced it out of pretty nasty and horrible emotions, considering the circumstances. Snape producing one doesn't necessarily mean his emotions were pure or legitimately good, just that Lily was the cause of his happiness.
