JKR seems to be saying that there's more to it.
The explanation that Lily's sacrifice gave Harry protection seemed complete and straight-forward to me.
On my own, I would not have thought too hard about why Voldemort would tell her more than once to get out of the way. I thought it seemed like a silly question at first, but they keep asking and JKR gives her cryptic little answers.[/b]

The other part of it is, why did it protect Harry at all? We are told that no one has ever survived the Havada Kadavara before, but surely there must have been times when someone chose to sacrifice themselves for someone else. Yet, this didn't give the protection to them, but it did for Harry.

So, from what I gather, Lily's death somehow lead to Snape's redemption. Like maybe Voldemort promised to leave Lily out of it as part of his deal with Snape. That's what some people seem to be implying.

I'm not sure what you're saying here. What deal would he have made with Snape? And is Voldemort really the type of person to keep a promise?
