Sorry, I clarified that in my head, but didn't type it.  I *meant* to say 
that Lily could have made the deal earlier ... I don't know when.  I have this 
whole thing planned out:
Okay, let's say, for the sake of this, that Snape was in love with Lily.  He 
finds out that the Dark Lord wants to kill the Potters.  Snape goes to Lily 
and says that they're marked for death.  Lily goes to the Dark Lord and says 
that, in exhange for Harry's/her life, she'll give him James.  *shrugs* She's 
Desperate!Lily.  She doesn't know he'll keep his word, but she figures that at 
least she's trying to save her son.  Or something like that.
