"(A) Voldy
knew killing Lily would have reprecussions, he just didn't think it
would be as massive as his losing his body (I just don't believe he
had sentimential feelings for someone who from his POV was both a
"Muggle" and a "spare")."

Hmm... I think if Voldemort had had kids, he wouldn't have chosen a Muggle - wouldn't that just be disgusting to him? Unless he raped a Muggle woman or something - some people have suggested there are overtones of Muggle rape in GoF. 

I could see it as more likely that it was some witch, maybe besotted by the young Riddle, but who he just used & threw away. Then the young Voldemort!Baby got handed over to foster parents.. who also adopted... Petunia! Thereby making it very nicely so that Petunia and her horrible son AREN'T related to Harry, which I would like very much. Perhaps part of the reason she resents the "burden" of looking after him is that she always suspected that she and Lily weren't true sisters, and therefore not only is she having to look after this little brat dumped on her, but he isn't *really* even her nephew.

Maybe.
