Well, we learned that she was jealous of Lily being a witch, and wanted to go to Hogwarts (and Lily finding out was what drove a wedge between them?), which may have then figured into her treating Harry so badly. And I think that Lily's eyes being important was that they were a constant reminder to Snape that Harry was Lily's child, and this was why he was doing this whole quadruple agent thing.
