I innermurk say:
Who says that Lily stayed in the bedroom? I've always seen the scene 
as Voldemort taking them by surprise one evening as they're cuddling 
together on the couch or something. Harry's in his bedroom asleep. 
They hear someone outside, investigate, and James screams for her to 
take Harry and run while he holds him off.
It doesn't take Voldemort long to AK James and as Lily is running up 
to Harry's room he finishes him off and enters the house. Lily is 
gathering Harry to try and flee, but Voldemort gets to the bedroom 
first. She begs for Harry's life in desperation, and Voldemort kills 
her. Now Harry is left and he tries to AK him too, but fails.

This scenario doesn't point Lily as good or bad, just trying to 
protect her child, but I've always thought that was how it happened.
