Another take on this would be (assuming) Snape was the
other DE, he sees Voldie cast the killing curse, and
in Voldie's moment of weakness, he casts some type of
curse himself, say a binding. He would then be praised
as a hero for capturing Voldie.

He would not have known, in that instant, that Harry
was not killed. The rebounded curse reacts bad with
the binding and through the release of energy by
Voldie, the house blows. It would have to be in that
instant that Snape would realize that he had to get
out. Naturally, Harry as a baby would have cried and
Snape grabbed the child and ran.
