Subject: Atonement - Does Lola love Marshall in Part 1?

In my A-level lit class, I seem to be the only one convinced that Lola does not point out Marshall as the the rapist as she is already in love with him. All the gasping of "It was him" seems to me to be a shocked disbelief that her idol has betrayed her, and Lola is also perfectly willing to drop the twins in the metaphorical ****, until Robbie (via Briony) becomes a more useful target.

Everyone else, my teacher included, believe she is merely keeping her foot in every camp for her own advantage, which I can't really understand.

Would anyone care to give their opinion? I'd love if there was an interview with McEwan that enlightened me on the subject.
