Why did Voldemort seem reluctant to kill Lily?

Hello. I'm new here. I probably won't be heavily involved in this
site, but I'll check in from time to time. I wanted to post something
about the question on the Lexicon site (see subject). Could Voldemort
have been messing with Lily? Trying to get her to give up the life of
her son, to show that evil is more powerful than good? Like, in the
end she'd rather live without her son than die? Or maybe he thought
she had potential and hoped that she would come over to his side.
