Professor Snape's first words to Harry were, "Potter! What would I get if I added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?" According to the Victorian Language of Flowers, asphodel is a type of lily meaning, 'My regrets follow you to the grave', and wormwood means 'absence' and symbolizes sweet sorrow. Therefore, the whole question has a hidden meaning of, "I bitterly regret Lily's death".
