According to Why didn't James' love and sacrifice for Lily protect her?, the reason why Lily's sacrifice did give Harry love-protection-enchantment, but James' did not, was because Voldemort gave Lily the chance to flee.
According to canon, was there anything else but Snape's request, that caused Voldemort not instantaneously murder Lily ?
My question is a bit tricky, but I'll try to explain further. Say Snape hadn't asked Voldemort to spare Lily. I assume, and hope you agree, that Lily would've sacrificed herself regardless of Voldemort's intentions to spare her or not. That is, she would cast her life, trying to save Harry, no matter what. And here it all comes down to how the sacrifice protection works. Would the protection trigger, if Voldemort had the intent to kill the whole Potter family, including Lily, that night ? Was it Snape's request that made that little tiny difference ?
