Did Snape serve only Lord Voldemort?

Yes and No. Right before the fall of the Potters and Voldemort, Snape switched to being in the service of Dumbledore. After Voldemort fell, Snape was used by Dumbledore to keep a lookout in case of Voldemort's return, as well as to keep an eye on the remaining Death Eaters not in jail. Once Voldemort returned, Dumbledore had Snape serve Voldemort, yet he was to rely the info back to Dumbledore. Snape being a servant of Dumbledore is very easy to miss in the books and the movies. In the Half Blood Prince, when Snape kills Dumbledore, it was due to the fact the Dumbledore had arranged for Snape to kill him, if Harry was to kill Voldemort.

Why did Lily love James Potter instead of Snape?

"If Severus Snape had made some different choices, Lily may have very well loved him. All love is not romantic love though. They were best friends and she cared about him long before she could even stand James. However, Snape chose to go down a dark path that Lily could not follow. He longed to be a Death Eater and to join up with Voldemort, and this was against everything Lily believed in." I want to know why she picked James. I get the Snape part, but why would she marry James? He's such a dick.
