Hey joywitch- great summary!!

I haven't tried to follow previous threads on your questions, because 
I thought it would be nice to have a "new" discussion.
Here are my answers:

to 1) V. killed James and wanted to kill Harry because they are true 
descendants of Godric Griffindor, who was the most powerful fiend of 
Salazaar Slytherin and his powers were given on to the Potters, so V. 
fears their magical strength.
Although V. has killed Muggles and Mudbloods before he did not intend 
to kill Lilly, because she had nothing to do with the *ancient fight*

to 2) Prof. Trlawny's first prediction was IMHO, the death of the 
Potters with V. downfall and Harry's surviving. Maybe that was the 
warning the Potters recieved?

to 3) I don't believe Harry will die. Good has to win over evil in the 
end, at least in books written for children ( as well as for adults, I 
know ;-) ) Harrys' death would be defeat.

to 4) I think the Dursleys could not put Harry in the orthanage 
without people talking about it ( their worst fear). For the same 
reason they wanted to keep Harry as far away from magic as possible
I don't believe they were threatened by Dumbledore but I think they 
did get a financial reward for their efforts. They can afford all 
these really expensive presents for Dudley. And they wouldn't tell 
Harry, because he could insist the money to be spent on propper 
clothes for him.

to 5) I am a confessing Harry / Ginny shipper mainly because I like 
her developement and would like her crush to develope into real love 
and Harrys respond to that.

to 6) I believe in chosing both sides of life, the learning and the 
fun, with his friends, he can make a developement somewhere in 
between. Ron gives him the fun and games he had missed so long, 
Hermione prevents him from *lifting off* and <teaches> him to still 
take everything seriously enough. For the very same reason I think Ron 
and Hermione are really good for each other too.!!

to 7) I think he got his flying- talent because he needed an ability 
to be proud of, that had nothing to do with what happened when he was 
a baby. This was his very own talent and could not be blamed on his 
being famous. Hs magical ability is developing, so I think JKR needed 
something Harry could be credited on by his classmates right from the 
start (IMHO)

Okay, time for you to start taking my Ideas apart ( or aprove?)- I'll 
enjoy it
