Amiable Dorsai:
This seems like the easiest explanation. One problem with it is that
it also seems likely that Pettigrew was there, as well--how else would
Voldemort have recovered his wand?  Any Snape at Godric's Hollow
scenario has to account for Snape's ignorance of Peter's betrayal, or
accept that he knew Sirius was not the traitor. 

It dovetails nicely into another speculation: the idea that Voldemort
promised Snape he would not harm Lily--perhaps that Snape could *have*
Lily--and that this broken promise led Snape to swear to Dumbledore
that he, Snape, would help kill Voldemort, should Voldemort ever return.

This would explain why Dumbledore was so sure of Snape's
motives--vengeance is one of Snape's favorite hobbies.
