Because Lily was offered a choice. She could have "stepped aside" and let Voldemort have Harry. But she didn't, she stayed where she was to try and protect her baby. James wasn't given that same choice.

Best answer. I think the issue of choice is essential here. That's her choice that gave her sacrifice all the power it had. Given the choice, James' sacrifice would have had the same value too. But as you said, he was not given the choice AT ALL.

And yet people tend to keep this bullshit about about James being a shit person.

I think it's because Voldemort would have killed James either way, whether he was trying to protect his family or not. But Snape had asked Voldemort to spare Lily, so she could have lived, but she sacrificed herself.

Same thing with the woman that Voldemort killed with her 3 children in Deathly Hallows, for the wand. He would have ended up killing the 4, so it didn't matter if the woman was trying to protect her children or not.

Which made Severus the most important character in the books, after Harry. Because of his request, Lily was given a choice por Voldemort. Hence the value of her sacrifice directly linked to her choice. Once again, Voldemort had understood nothing. He should have killed Lily right on the spot, without leaving her the choice, disposing of her like he had had with James. No choice, no sacrifice, no Harry, no story. Thank you Severus !

"If she means so much to,' said Dumbledore, 'surely Lord Voldemort will spare her? Could you not ask for mercy for the mother in exchange for the son?'/ 'I have- I have asked him-' - Page 543, The Prince's Tale, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

I think it is because the amor for your child is different than the amor for the person you romantically. There's no amor like a mother's amor for her child.

In some Eastern traditions, it is said that to show how much He loved mankind, God created the amor of a mother.

agree with the anterior answers.i just want to add that James FOUGHT to save his family.Lily didn't take up arms against Voldemort.she pleaded him to spare her child and came between the two even after given the choice to save herself.

when harry goes to the forbidden forest himself,he doesn't touch his wand to protect himself.that's how his sacrifice saves others as well.

James didn't fight either - he couldn't, he'd left his wand in the living room. When he shouts that he'll hold Voldemort off, what he actually means is that the time Voldemort takes to kill him might hopefully give Lily the chance to Apparate out with Harry. But she didn't have her wand either.
