Oh.  Roadblock.  I'd forgotten about the three defiances. OK then.  As I'm very into this scenario, let me offer an amendment.

Snape has realized the error of his Death Eater ways and has disappeared for awhile - and at an especially inopportune time for the little mother-to-be.  (Maybe he didn't even know about the baby at that point.)  Lily turns to James to "give her baby a name" (this wasn't 2003 after all!) and he agrees, either out of love for Lily or, perversly, to inflict the ultimate insult on Snape.  When he learns of the marriage and later the child, Snape can't confront them out of fear for their safety/Lily's reputation, and so goes to Dumbledore for help in securing protection for them.  OR... How about this?  It was Lily's plan - carried out against advice of counsel Snape, family etc.; a desperate but not well thought out act to protect her child.

Or maybe I've read 'way too much Harry Potter and need to get a life. ;-)
