Alla:
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. Moreover, we ALREADY know that he did not keep his word to Snape. He did not tell him, oh Severus I will ONLY keep her alive if she would not try to keep me from killing her son, he agreed to keep her alive period as far as we know, right? He did not. And for some reason we think that her standing aside would have been enough?

Don't we have his very own thoughts in DH? IIRC, he was planning what he was going to do as he went towards Godric's Hollow, and telling himself that he wasn't going to kill Lily unless she made trouble. There isn't much point in JKR giving us Voldie's thoughts if they don't tell us what he's really thinking. 

Voldemort was not under some compulsion to kill every Muggle and Muggleborn who crossed his path, not if he had a use for them, and he had a use for Lily.
