Re: Oh, I hear you!
Yes, I think I agree wrt Severus' insecurity about their friendship. Something in Lily's behavior before this scene has made him question if they are still friends.
Also, my recall of canon is not perfect and I don't have the books to hand, bit isn't it here that Lily has her line about "my friends don't know why I even talk to you"? I seem to recall that it was here...and that it was not phrased as "my OTHER friends" but "my friends." Is that correct or am I misremembering? Because that says a lot about how Severus was sub/consciously categorized in her mind at this point.
