Saraquel:
I liked your suggestions Amiable Dorsai, but I'm afraid I'll have to 
take issue over this one.  If Hagrid was hiding Harry at Hogwarts 
for the day he would never have flown over Bristol to get to the 
Dursleys. Hogwarts is due North and Bristol is due West of Surrey.

Another option occured to me about using up time.  We know that 
Voldemort would have let Lily live.  This to me indicates that her 
living was desirable in some way to Voldemort.  That she had some 
skill or knowledge that Voldemort could use.  

At that point Voldemort was still short of an immortal body (we know 
that from what he says in GoF rebirthing scene about his search for 
his immortal body having to wait.)  So does Lily know something of 
the Philosophers Stone?  Was she working on it with DD and Flamel?

The other alternative that I think possible is that she worked as an 
unspeakable with the Room of Love.  If Voldemort's aim was to be all 
powerful, he would have been very interested in this power.

Hence my speculation that Voldemort did not just zap Lily straight 
away but probably spent quite some time trying to 'persuade' her to 
work for him.  I can see him settling himself comfortably and toying 
with her in his sadistic way, and Lily resisting.  I don't think the 
last couple of hours of her life were pleasant and probably involved 
more than a few crucios (sob) Was this why Harry heard her screaming 
when attacked by dementors? 

In doing this, Voldemort deliberately offered her life, which she 
refused. Was this the thing that made her sacrifice the unique one?

Saraquel:
Yes I agree, this one does need some thought.
