But why Harry? Just because he "lived" and was (until Rita Skeeter)
the toast of the Wizard/Witch world? 

I think..that it is very significant that Voldemort was on his way
to murder Harry, and Lily "got in the way". Voldemort loves to kill 
and there is seemingly no reason why he didn't kill Lily first, and 
then kill Harry. But doesn't Lily plead with him to kill her first 
(my GofF is missing!) Harry was his target. (Reminds me of Herod and 
his quest to kill Jesus)

Is there a prophecy that Harry will grow up to destroy Voldemort?

I would guess that Harry is one of/or the last remaining DESCENDANT 
(not ancestor) of Godric Gryffindor..and that oooh, perhaps Salazar 
Slytherin passed on some magical ability to Voldemort and GG passed 
some on to Harry, and the conflict between Voldemort and Harry is a 
reflection of the conflict between Salazar and Godric. As such, the 
Sorting Hat (which, remember, is what GG left to sort the students 
after his death, compare it to Riddle's diary)gave Harry the sword of 
GG.

OR maybe AD is also a descendant of GG and in a ritual of the Order 
of the Phoenix passes on some special ability (now ***I*** am 
referring to Katherine Kurtz) to HP. 

So perhaps we will have the showdown at the OK corral between the 
last descendant of SS and the last descendant of GG.

Or maybe I should go write some fan fiction.
