No, no, it goes like this.  Voldemort decends on the Potters.  He 
expects to clash with James.  So he doesn't start the spell yet.  But 
*once James is out of the way* Voldemort figures the next kill will be 
Harry, a Horcrux worthy death. (Zgirnius is right.)  So he sends his 
goons on ahead, chants his "super secret soul sealing spell" (tm), and 
then heads in himself, all charged up to kill Harry and create his 
final(?) Horcrux.  But then Lily, that silly girl, gets in the way and 
the rest is Potterverse history.
