JKR:  The "crucial and central question" of the series is why both 
Harry and Voldemort survived the killing curse. [Read the exact quote 
from World Book Day, 2004]

Rowling has said we should be asking why Voldemort lived -- not 
Harry.  Could it be that Snapes was there and somehow prevented 
Voldemort's death?

Or does this have to do wit the horcruxes?

Bunnycollins:
I too am thinking that Snape was present at Godric's Hollow, however 
I'm tinkering with the idea that Snape didn't try to save LV, but
that he tried to kill him. That LV broke a promise to Snape that he
wouldn't harm Lily but when Lily was murdered, Snape's rage was so 
uncontrollable that at the precise moment when Voldemort was AKing 
Harry, Snape was AKing Voldemort. As we don't know what happens if 
someone performing AK is AK'd themselves, maybe it's just possible 
that this would explain why Harry lived, why LV was reduced to less 
than nothing and why the whole house was destroyed.
That Snape hated LV enough to attempt to kill him would be good 
enough reason for DD to trust Snape so much and ofcourse DD would 
have been reluctant to reveal all this to Harry on the grounds that 
Snape only cared about saving Lily and to heck with James.
Oh, and LV doesn't remember a thing about what Snape did, because the 
rebounding curse knocked the stuffing out of him lol.
This was my first post, so please be kind.
