Great Character sketch! Joywitch

1.  The primary question about Harry, which we have discussed a
million times, is WHY does Voldemort want to kill him?  And why did
he kill James and Lily, for that matter?

2.  What was Professor Trelawney's first correct prediction?  Was it
about Harry?  More importantly, was it that only Harry could kill
Voldemort?  Or that Harry would lead the fight against Voldy, or that
only Harry could do something that would lead to Voldy's defeat?  Or
that only a child born to the Potters could defeat Voldy?  WHAT WAS
IT?  (Yes, I know this has been discussed to death)

I'm going to lump #1 and 2 together, theorizing that Trelawney's first
correct prediction was Voldemort's downfall through the hands of a
Potter, which brings me to the first question. V heard about the
prediction and decided to kill off James and Harry (which would also
explain, why he said Lily didn't have to die. She is a Potter only by
marriage) V only kills Lily because she is trying to protect Harry.

I don't think that it's only a child born to the Potter that could
defeat V. I think it has to do with the old magic that was invoked. In
theory, any mother protecting her child the way Lily protected Harry
would have been able to bring about V's downfall had V attacked a
child under such protection.
