Unfortunately I am afraid I have to naysay this one.

Reason being?

If Lily was a Seer, she would've known in advance Voldemort was 
coming [unless the Death Eaters had some kind of precognition jamming 
spell] -- and been able to avoid him or get somewhere better defended.

Either way,  it would've been less likely to result in Voldemort 
killing both of them and leaving Harry an orphan.
