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... :)>>

Yes, yes! I 100% agree! Well, maybe not about heir thing, as I'm still unsure 
about that, but I'm willing to bet money that Trelawney's first accurate 
prediction was to Tom Riddle. I pitched this theory to another list and it 
wasn't met with much enthusiasm, I'm so glad somebody else thought up the 
same thing. 

Still confused about why Voldemort told Lily to move aside, though. Why not 
just kill her like he ended up doing? What was the point of her standing 
aside? Well, I realize for the plot, her dying for Harry to provide that 
protection, sure, but logically I didn't think it made sense.
