Marianne:
What if the package deal blew up in everybody's face.  Lily was taken 
out of harms way, and for some reason or another, and Snape has 
nothing to do with it, Harry and James end up dead anyway.  Snape 
thinks he'll have Lily to himself.

I don't think it would be that easy.  If Snape thinks that he'll have 
her to himself he's got another thing coming to him.  Lily knows 
about Snape's past, associating with DE and the dark arts. Perhaps 
she thinks that Snape hasn't changed. Lily loves her husband and son 
too much to ever throw herself into Snape's arms. And if Lily found 
out that Snape, in the beginning, asked to keep her out of harm's way 
and sacrifice James and Harry she'd loathe him even more forever.

Short of Snape confunding or slipping a love potion to Lily, I doubt 
he'll ever get Lily back.
