That's a good idea. Perhaps Lily was in Slytherin, hence the sorting 
hats initial leaning towards Slytherin for Harry. I don't remember us 
ever being told which house Lily was in in the canon. We know V was 
recruiting powerful Slytherin Witches and Wizards; perhaps he was 
after Lily.

However... big problem... Killing her family in front of her was 
probably not the way to go about recruiting her. In fact it's a 
bloody stupid way. Also, as she's Harry's mum, he could surely have 
had her bring Harry up according to his master plan rather than kill 
him.
