Shelley:
Oh, come on. Do you really think that if Lily had an invisibility cloak that 
she wouldn't have immediately ducked under it with Harry and then attempted 
to be as quiet as possible? Do you really think that she'd be screaming her 
head off beneath an invisibility cloak, or making noise by attempting to 
block the door if she might need it to excape??? I just don't see her being 
that stupid, hiding under something that conceals your presence only to give 
it away by screaming in terror. Even if she had screamed initially at 
hearing James being killed, she was still hidden and the very moment that 
she was silent, she could have moved around and attempted to evade the 
killer who could come for her and her child. Voldemort still had to come 
upstairs for her, giving her a few seconds to get silent and move. She could 
have attempted to sneak past Voldemort to get outside of the house to 
freedom and safety, and the cloak would have given her hope. No, she does 
those things (screams, barricades the room) only because she has no 
protection, and she knows she's a sitting duck for Voldemort who surely is 
after her next.
