Voldemort was more than likely going to kill Lily after Harry if she 
had for some stupid reason taken into consideration to move aside.  
His focal point was Harry and he wanted to obviously get rid of 
Harry, possibly asap.  If he could just kill Harry without having 
any obstacles in the way was perfect.  Having Lily pleading to take 
her was just as others have suggested an annoyance.  Basically, it 
could have been "Step aside girl."  Lily didn't.  So now it's kind 
of like, "Fine if you're not going to make this easy for me, I'll 
kill you now rather than later."
