Valky:
You know I absolutely agree with you Tiger, I have always thought that
this is the strongest evidence to the theory that Snape was at Godrics
Hollow. Now going on an assumption that this is true the scenario
unfolds some interesting Questions.

First lets draw the picture: James is adamant that Sirius would not
betray him at the moment (or extremely close to the moment) of his death.

Voldemort kills James in a duel. 

Snape witnesses James unwavering trust in Sirius even when faced with
imminent death and/or James actual death.

Snape owes James a life debt that he never managed to repay.

Looking over these things one thing is clear, If the first premise is
true (Snape saw the sacrifice) and the second premise is true (Snape
saw James before his death) then this must also be true: Snape had
/no/ time to hide from Voldemort and he stayed long enough to see Lily
die, therefore he was there long enough to DO NOTHING to help James in
the duel.

This raises questions as to what exactly Snape DID do while James was
duelling Voldemort, and to figure that out we need more canon.

Snape is/was a double agent spy.

Somebody said "Take Harry and Run I'll Hold him off"

Voldemort was reputed unkillable.

So if the three of our previous premise are true One of the following
must also be true: Snape was never seen by Voldemort OR Snape was seen
by Voldemort and Snape appeared loyal to him (possibly even helping
him overcome James)

Before I go on with more question formulating, let me just ask this.

Who here thinks Snape hid for his life and who thinks he helped Voldie
kill James?
