Ok--I had this posted under a different header, but I'm changing it 
after rethinking things a bit:



Snape overhears (part of) the prophecy. He is discovered and ejected 
from the bar.  He takes this new information directly to Voldie. 
Now, Snape secretly loves Lily, openly hates James.  Doesn't care 
about Harry.  He doesn't want Lily harmed.  So, he tells Voldie 
he'll give him information which will save his life but only if he 
promises not to harm Lily.  Voldie agrees and the life debt is 
established.
Not sure of the Peter connection here--who approaches whom first?
Anyway, V. recieves the info. from Peter, goes to Godric's Hollow 
and kills James.  He tells Lily to stand aside, she 
won't. The supremely evil git kills her anyway. Uh oh. He's 
gone back on the debt.  Because of this, the very next spell 
he casts rebounds. The consequences of his actions. 

Snape finds out and, in deepest regret, approaches Dumbledore for 
forgiveness and help.

Of course, this all completely falls apart if Snape left the 
deatheaters before the fall of V.  Which, I thought I read somewhere 
was the case.  Sigh....still, it'd make a nice fanfic :-)

I was just intrigued by the consequences of going back on a 
life/wizard or blood debt.
