As his last breath escaped him, Severus Snape stared into Harry Potter's eyes, the single most beautiful sight in the whole world, whole universe. Severus Snape closed his eyes to an eternal blackness, the image of his worst enemy taunting him. Even in death he could not evade the face of James Potter, however a single feature made it bearable to look at Harry Potter, His eyes, Lily's eyes. The only reason he could never hate Harry Potter was Lily; it could only ever be Lily.

Her eyes, Harry's eyes, his final wish, seen again for the final time. He was happy, thought Severus Snape, he could die happy.

"Oi, Snivellius!"

Now he was hearing things, the taunting of James Potter, back again, supposed Severus Snape, until something shook his world. His eyes slid open to that final photograph of Harry Potter imprinted in his vision. Harry Potter's eyes blinked once,

"Severus?"

Her voice, not his, smoother than silk,

"Severus, I've missed you so much, so so much, you can't imagine how much I've missed you, how much I've wanted to tell you, Severus, I think… I think I love you."

Severus Snape died looking at Harry Potter's eyes, He re-opened his own to Lily's.
