Why did Snape hate Harry for being James' son instead of loving him for being Lily's?

Discussion

I get that he protected Harry for all those years in honor of Lily. Perhaps you can argue he didn't truly hate Harry. However, he was still a total jerk day-to-day to Harry. Why wasn't he nice to Harry, as he loved Lily and Lily was the only real friend he ever had?
