Maybe "in exchange for the son" means something like "in exchange for the information about the son" here? Meaning that LV agreed to spare Lily as a thanks for Snape's information about the prophecy baby? If it wasn't Snape who brought this information to LV, he wouldn't dare to ask for a favor, I guess ... :-).
