Not killing her does not necessarily mean that he was going to 'spare 
her'.  She may have had, perhaps, some other 'value' for him alive.  

In any case  why 'stand aside'?  Why not 'Impero ... stand aside'?  
If Voldemort didn't *want* to kill her, why did he?  He could have 
incapacitated her with 'Crucio' or forced her will  with 'Impero' 
could he not?  Was Lily (like Harry) also able to throw off Impero?  
Is that what is alluded to when Fake!Moody tells the class to 'watch  
Harry's eyes' or 'it's in his eyes' or something like that, as Harry 
resists Impero?
