<<According to Book 1, Ch. 17, page 294 (American ed.) Voldemort tells
Harry that he killed James first, then Lily (who was protecting Harry)

of course, looking at this passage, Voldemort says that Lily didn't
need to die. She did because she was protecting Harry. Wonder if that
means anything...>>

Ah, yes, but at the end of GoF, when V's murders are coming out of his
wand BACKWARD, we see James and then Lily next. I think we were supposed
to assume that Voldemort killed James first, but now we have *evidence*
that he went after Lily first. And since Lily died protecting Harry,
now we can reasonably infer that Voldemort's main purpose was to kill
Harry! Which now completely ups the ante as far as Harry's safety is
concerned.
