Rachel here:
I don't think VM would necessarily need Lily to tell everyone what happened 
afterwards.  Due to their hiding out I don't think it was a huge secret that 
VM was after the Potters, and even if it was, the Dark Mark that would 
potentially be left above the house would leave little doubt as to their 
culprit.  DD for sure would immediately know who had killed them all.  I, 
too, am curious as to why VM offered Lily a chance to live, and I can't wait 
for book 7 :-).
