I have never believed the theory that Lily purposefully sacrificed 
herself to save Harry with the ancient magic.  She was trying to 
protect her son the only way she could at the moment.  I firmly 
believe it was an unplanned event that gave Harry the protection, 
because of DD's knowledge of the ancient magic, that he has.  
The only reason LV would have spared Lily was to torture her 
with the memory of her dead son and husband....
