Or perhaps just the most spoiled! :-)

To get on to the main thrust, of thread, Yes Voldy in PS/SS does say
"I killed your father FIRST and he put a courageous fight" - Which leads
me to wonder if what happened to the house was the 'collateral damage'
from the fight. I have this image of the climactic light-sabre duel in
_The Empire Strikes Back_ where Vader uses the Force to pick things up
and toss them at Luke to distract him. I wonder if James was trying the
same thing to Voldy who just kept coming - up to and including trying
to collapse the roof on him. (Perhaps he remembered Oz and was trying
to drop his own house on the Wicked Wizard of the East!)


AS for why Voldy is attacking in the first place - I think we have found
clear passages indicating the fact is that V was after *Harry*. I think
it is because Trelawney's previous true Prophecy will be revealed as
something like that the Potter's child would be Lord V's downfall,
so V was out to nip him in the bud.
