In defense of JKR's plotting skills, Sister, he has only tried to kill 
him twice in the two books.  OK, three counting Book 1 Chapter 1.  CoS 
is not about V in "real time"--he's nursing his wounds in Albania 
through the whole thing--and PoA didn't deal with V directly at all (I 
was so relieved by this and by Sirius's innocence--when I'd read the 
dust jacket I'd thought "oh for heaven's sake, is someone going to try 
to kill Harry in EVERY book?").
