Kaylee Tonks-Lupin here:
I wonder if I might get a L.O.O.N. badge for this, Debbie, but I'd just like
to point out that LOLLIPOPS stands for "Love of Lily Left Ire Polluting Our
Poor *Severus*", not *Snape* *cough* Professor Snape. Since that's totally OT
anyway, I think, I'll add that I'm more in the ACID POPS camp than the
LOLLIPOPS one, but I suppose Snape/Lily is *okay* as a theory *grins* I like it
better than ESE!Lupin, anyway, or Remus/Lily (except as platonic friends, which
I think they were.) I'm wondering now if we'll hear Remus finally tell all
about Lily. I'd love to hear it. I hope that in Book 7, Remus goes with Harry
(and the rest of the trio, perhaps?) to Godric's Hollow. I think they both
need it.
Cheers,
Kaylee

Debbie:
This has been extensively debated over the years, with much speculating on
the TEW EWW line of theories:
http://www.hpfgu.org.uk/faq/hypotheticalley.html#eww
These theories posit that Voldemort wanted Lily for himself or else that
she was to be a prize for Snape. I personally believe he did it because of
Snape, with or without the LOLLIPOPS* option (for those who don't like
LOLLIPOPS, there's always a Platonic Potions Chum alternative). That option
would relate best to the unsolved mystery of who Snape is/was/ever shall be
working for (and she's going to have to tie up a lot of loose ends in one
book):
1. Snape must in fact have occupied a powerful position with Voldemort.
2. Snape was unhappy about the decision to target the Potters because of
Lily.
3. Voldemort knew this.
If this is true, Voldemort may have been concerned about Snape's continued
loyalty before Godric's Hollow, and maybe Lily's death explains why
Voldemort believed that Snape had left him forever.
This also ties into another question that JKR won't answer: who else, if
anyone, was at Godric's Hollow. I believe we will eventually see the entire
scene unfold, via the witness's memory. So who else was there? Wormtail?
Snape? Or both? My bets are on Pettigrew, or maybe both.

imagining Harry's reaction if he were to discover that Snape was there and
did nothing to prevent the deaths
