Lily: the Death Eater

Here's a new spin.
What if Lily was a Death Eater? Maybe she knew V. would kill James 
that night, but she wasn't counting on V. trying to kill Harry. 

In the first book, V. tells Harry that he killed Lily because she was 
protecting Harry. In PoA, Harry hears Lily begging V. not to kill 
Harry and V. telling the "foolish girl" to get out of the way. If 
V.'s goal was to kill the Potters (meaning James and Lily), I don't 
think he would have wasted his time telling Lily to get out of the 
way
I think he would have just killed her without much ado.
Lily would also make a *perfect* Death Eater-spy
no one would
suspect that she was working for V. especially since she was "muggle-
born". 
Also, Hagrid and others say that you could never tell who was on V.'s 
side and who wasn't. In fact, that was why they were all so shocked 
about Sirius Black "betraying" the Potters and why it was conceivable 
for Lupin to believe Sirius went over.
Just a thought ;-)
