No, he just wanted Lily to live. He didn't care about her husband and child, but her he loved.

Oh, Alla, give poor Snape some credit :-). He wouldn't have moaned "like wounded animal" and he wouldn't have looked "like a man who had lived a hundred years of misery", when Lily died, *just* because he lost a potential plaything :-). I'm sure he never wanted to make her a love slave, but I believe that's what he said to LV. 

I hope he was smart enough not to say "Please don't kill her, my Lord, I looove her" :-). He probably said that she was pretty and he wanted her, and that she was his old enemy's wife, and wouldn't it be cool if he had her as his mistress, and "please my Lord, let me have her as a reward".
