Why Voldemort wanted to spare Lily

Hi, everyone!

My sister's just finished PoA and was totally blown away ("Geez, I'd 
thought Book 2 was *good*, but this beats the hell out of it!","I 
told you!") We were talking about the whole business of Harry being 
merciful to Peter and Dumbledore's words about how Peter now owed 
Harry something. That got me thinking...

What if the same thing happened to Lily and Voldemort? What if Lily 
once showed mercy to Voldemort, and he had that debt with her? 
Dumbledore said it's a powerful connection. Maybe, because of a 
prophecy or something, Voldy had to kill James and Harry, but 
*couldn't* kill Lily. Then, when he actually got to murder her, it 
all turned back to him, because he had broken the magical bond. 
That'd be why he wanted to spare her in the first place. I mean, the 
guy's a big time baddy, has killed lots of people, why would he care 
about murdering an extra one? He finished Cedric off without thinking 
twice.

Does it make any sense, or is it too late for me to be awake?
