It doesn't have to be Voldemort. Maybe it were the Death Eaters, who 
hated Muggles and also had a reason to "teach the Mudblood a lesson". 
Maybe James and Lily were the intended victims, and the Evanses just 
happened to be there. Anyway, Sirius said in GoF, that many muggles 
died during the first Voldiewar. I wouldn't be surprised if Mr and 
Mrs Evans were among them.
