Lily was not going to die because Voldemort said so? The liar of all liars in the books was going to keep his word? I am just really not sure about that. Voldemort said a lot of things in the novels and we know that some of them were not true, and JKR herself said he was a liar. Why should we believe Voldemort? For all I know he wanted Lily to stand back simply because it would have been easier to kill Harry first and then to kill her.<SNIP>

I agree with Alla. I doubt Voldemort had any intention at all of keeping Lily alive, not even for Snape who was the one to give Voldemort the information that led to the killing of the Potters. Voldemort did not have friends and he did not want friends so he would not care about telling the truth to anyone. After all let's not forget that after all the help Quarell gave him, he just left him to die.
