I'm a newbie myself (I've been lurking a little off and on but this
is my first post here).  But I'd like to suggest a possibility
(hopefully it hasn't already been discussed to death).
  
I think possibly Voldemort might have had his Death Eaters present
(either in the house or lurking nearby) when he killed James and Lily.
After all, he seems to enjoy having an audience (Goblet of Fire).  If
so, Snape, as a Death Eater, may have witnessed the murders and given
an account to Dumbledore, either as a spy or would-be spy.  Also, I'm
not sure that everybody knows of Lily's sacrifice.  As far as I
remember, only Dumbledore has mentioned it.
