Anybody who believes that Voldy would have actualy let Lily  live, raise 
their hand. What is both puzzling and possibly revealing is the  question of why 
Voldemort made the offer in the first place. He certainly  was/is a pyschopath, 
and shown to be VERY able at manipulating people. He  SHOULD have known that 
Lily would not have accepted his offer, or even  believed it to be genuine. 
So, why bother? 




Sandy, waving her hand in the air:
 
I believe Voldy would have let Lily live because JKR said he would  have. 
Don't have time to look up the exact source of the quote, but I think it  is on 
her website. None of us knows why he made the offer yet, but I believe we  will 
find out in DH. As to the last part; Voldy should have known Lily wouldn't  
accept. I don't see that at all. The one thing Voldy fears above all else is  
Death. He has gone to great measures to prevent it from happening to him. With  
that mindset I can fully see him expecting someone to choose life over death, 
 even at the expense of someone else's life. Furthermore, Voldy does not  
understand love at all, much less the love that a mother has for her child.  
Again, with that mindset, and only the example of Merope for a mother, I  can 
believe he thought it perfectly natural for Lily to choose her life over  Harry's.
