> Just as children know that Elmer Fudd lusting after Bugs Bunny in a dress
and lipstick is funny without knowing quite why, Lily's unspoken offer to
Voldemort is for the adults who know "the secret".  I agree that she could
never make the offer explicitly in a children's book, but the fact us, she
didn't.  Likewise, she didn't say "kill me instead", she said, "take me
instead".
Actually, she does say "Kill me instead"
I get this from Ch. 9.
    "Not Harry, please no, take me, kill me instead --"
