There's been several theories why, but we don't know why Voldemort went
after James and Harry, or how and why the house was destroyed. Let's see:
here are a few:

[snip]

Don't forget Brooks' theory. Its the one I like. That Harry was born
(or perhaps even specially conceived) under a prophecy and that he is
fated to put a final end to L. Voldy's power. That L. Voldy knows this
somehow and that THAT is why he was so determined to kill Harry but
didn't care about Lily.

It could be some combination. That 1000 years ago it was prophecied the
last heir of slytherin would rise to dominating power and would only
be put down by the last heir of Griffindor. Of course, although there
is evidence that Voldy is the last heir of Slytherin, and certainly
strong evidence that Harry is an __heir__ of griffindor, we don't have
any reason to believe that Harry is the only remaining heir.

"No. there is another." :-)

I believe the prophecy theory without necessarily bringing the griffindor
bit into it.
