Which is why it continues to baffle me that so many readers aren't
bothered by the fact that Dumbledore, head of the highest wizarding
court of law, gave 'evidence' that Sirius was the Secret Keeper.
Dumbledore wouldn't use hearsay, wouldn't say "Sirius had been their
Secret Keeper" if he only knew of a plan and I seriously doubt the
Potters lied to Dumbledore that they had successfully made Sirius the
Secret Keeper (the only acceptable hearsay because they are dead).

Which means Dumbledore saw Sirius (or someone that looked like him) as
the Secret Keeper with his own eyes. I find it perfectly believable
the Potters wanted Dumbledore to have the secret and Peter, knowing
they were going to die, wasn't interested in exposing himself as the
Secret Keeper. If he didn't use Polyjuice to look like Sirius I will
be very surprised. Peter seemed to have a fairly elaborate plan to
frame Sirius...and I think it started playing out with Peter using
Polyjuice to handout the secret.

Which means it is quite possible Snape - given the secret at
Dumbledore's request because he was in a position to warn them the
fastest - overheard part of Voldemort's 'the moment of triumph is
near' speech and raced to tell the Potters their Secret was known. 

But James refused to believe and flattened him for suggesting his
friend was a traitor.

If true, then Lily had to spend the precious few minutes James bought
her by hiding an unconscious Snape (freezing charm and invisibility
cloak anyone? Another front row seat to tragedy just like Harry?)

Abergoat, who admits for this to work Lily must have had no idea that
Voldemort would kill Harry...and thinks her words in Harry's memory
support that.
