I guess it wouldn't *have* to be isolated -- I just had the impression
it would be.

Not really.  I think some of us suspect it's a tie to Gryffindor
ancestry.  Alix suggested that Evans is a Welsh surname so perhaps the
Gryffindor link flows through Lily.  Although if that were true, then
Voldy would have surely wanted to kill Lily too.  Unless he was after a
male descendant through the Gryffindor line . . . hmm . . . .this would
mean James was also incidental & add support to the theory that Voldy's
only target that night was Harry.  But, that really can't be true if we
believe that Lily is muggle-born, can it?  Now, I'm babbling so I'll
shut up.
