Heir of Gryffindor (was Re: Re: DVD: Steven Kloves: The Thing in the Chamber that will ...)

Harry being the Gryffindor heir would explain better why Voldemort tried to 
kill a helpless baby. I'd always just assumed it was because he was evil and 
that never sat with me very well. I always felt that there had to be more to 
it than that. Perhaps there were prophecies about Harry, or the Gryffindor 
heir bringing Voldemort down, and he decided to nip it in the butt.

And I say gleefully:
And who announced the Gryffindor heir gonna get ya prophecy? Why, Trelawney, of course! That was her first prophecy, that one of the line of Gryffindor would kill one of the line of Slytherin. Hence when he needed to kill James and Harry, because the Potters were once the Gryffindors. Poor ol' Lil just got caught up in the firing line.

Sorry, this Gryffindor-heir/Trelawney-prediction thing has always been one of my pet theories. Any excuse to stick it into conversation... :)
