 Hi, 
   I don't know if this topic has been discussed in this group or 
not, it's quite a simple theory about why Voldemort was reluctant to 
kill Lily in Godric's Hollow.
   I think that Snape liked Lily for one reason or the other. Maybe 
coz she helped him out many times, but he never said that, coz his 
ego might have got in his way, maybe he couldn't believe that he 
liked a Mud blood , like Darcy in Pride and Prejudice and his pride 
cost him a great deal when Lily finally married James. So maybe when 
Snape joined the Death Eaters, he might have vowed to kill James and 
yet had Voldemort deal with him that he would never harm Lily; maybe 
that's why Voldemort was reluctant to kill Lily; maybe he was the 
intermediate between Voldemort and Wormtail, maybe so,  maybe not.
   I guess this is why when Voldemort fell and the Potters were 
dead, Snape changed sides and helped Dumbledore gather up a few 
Death Eaters and gain his confidence enough to gain a job and a 
respectable life.
