In answer to the 'why did Lily have to die' thing - JK said in an 
interview that Lily was in Gryffindor, so I don't think V was trying 
to get her onside - although leaving her to live, with Harry dead 
wasn't a V-like thing to've done.

Also, have you noticed where Harry lived when his parents died?  
in 'Godric's Hollow' - is this significant?  Because there is 
something special about harry that we don't know, since Dumbledore 
wouldn't tell him ]last chapter of Book.1] = the reaso why V wanted 
to kill him [as a baby] in the first place.

Is Harry the heir to Godric Gryffindor?  

Ffion

P.S - Dai Evans - are you Welsh?  Because your name is very typically 
Welsh.
