I truly wonder if Snape only cared about Lilly and none of the others. I believe that he was in shock once he realised what he had done and Lily was the most immediate of the people and the one that he could best relate too. It's kind of like when there is a tragedy and a wife remembers to ask about her child and forgets about her spouse for a while or visa versa. While Snape may not have given a rat's ass about James, he would have wanted him to survive for Lily's happiness and I truly don't think he wanted a child to die.
