E.T.:

I don't think you have to die for a PI to evoke the spell that killed 
you...it just displays prior spells of all sorts.   Perhaps it only 
will display spells that are totally completed or that worked as 
intended.  I do believe it was Voldemort that performed the AK's on 
James and Lily using his own (LV's) wand. 
 
Then he tried to kill Harry. My impression is that he interprets the 
prophecy as meaning that he must be the one to kill Harry himself. I 
think he has continued to feel that way & although he wants to kill 
Harry himself to show the other DEs that he is the more powerful of 
the two, I also thinks he believes it must be him & no one else.
