AHA!
I have read much speculation about why Voldemort told Lily to stand 
aside rather than just kill her out right.  What about this idea!  He 
would have spared her because of his latent feelings for his own 
mother!  Maybe he doesn't even realize it, probably would deny it if 
asked, but if he spent all his life pining for the mother he loves but 
lost, perhaps seeing Lily so fiercely protecting Harry gave him an 
unconscious momentary lapse in his ruthlessness (is this a word?).

Just a thought.
