Lily *Did* Scream

I always thought Lily screamed because she was yelling for Voldemort
to stop from killing Harry not herself.  It is obvious James and Lily
knew that Voldemort was after James and Harry only.  She ran to get
Harry and leave, but Voldemort did not waste time toying with James
and just killed him and went after Harry.  Lily, not having enough
time to get Harry and run, was attempting to shield Harry.  She did
the only thing she could do with Voldemort at the time and was to
plead for her son's life, not her own mind you, and since Voldemort
is...well Voldemort he pushed her aside.  She then lunged between
Voldemort's wand and Harry screaming at the same time out of sheer
panic and fear for her son's life.  Having got in the way she died
instead of Harry.  That is my assumption anyway.  Harry was "saved" by
her love since she placed herself between Voldemort and Harry out of
her will and passion.
