Why did Lily Potter have a choice?

When Voldemort called on the Potter home to kill James and Harry, he did not come to kill Lily. Why? She was a mudblood, so it couldn’t have been out of respect for her family. She thrice defied him with James according to the prophecy, so it couldn’t have been because she would follow him then.

I hate to say it, but I think the Snape/Lily shippers may have been right. Lord Voldemort is very happy with Snape on the night he goes to kill the Potters. He has the prophecy and he thinks he will now dwarf any effort to ever die. There will be no one who is as powerful as he is and Snape helped. So when Snape asks the Dark Lord to spare Lily her life, he agrees.

It is the only plausible explanation… at this point.

That is what I thought, but there has to be a reason that Voldemort gave Lily the choice. Do you have any other ideas that would explain it? I don't...

To the two "Anonymous" posts:

Snape did love Lily. There is proof in the next book.

TO THE FIRST TWO ANONYMOUS, YOU OBVIOUSLY HAVE NOT READ THE LAST BOOK. IT EXPLAINS EVERYTHING. I THOUGHT IT WAS AMAZING HOW IN THE LAST THREE CHAPTERS J.K. WRAPPED UP ALL THE ANSWERS AND LET THEM OUT.
