The mock offer he made to Lily is not funny. It’s the kind of kick the dog thing authors write when they want to make you dislike the villain. Eliezer is better than that. What made it laughworthy for Voldemort was the delicious irony of Lily offering her life in exchange of a life that would not have been taken to begin with. From this it was clear he knew the whole prophecy and that Snape heard the whole thing. Took me some time to figure out why it’s different from canon, though of course that should have been clear too. Snape is no fool. And the outcome of his no-fool-ness has been known by than.
About your list, I think the failed-notice thing in ch 3 is simply the ‘strikes directly at the soul’ and ‘leaving only the burnt hulk of his body’ thing. Also I doubt Voldemort would share his plans with Lucius.

But, yeah, plenty of clues.
