Harry's Parents

Hi,
I have just recently joined your group and I have a question that has been
bugging me ever since I first read HP.  I apologize if this has already been
covered.  I tried to look through the archives to see if the subject has
come up before, but 23000 messages is a little overwhelming.

My question is - Why is Valdemort after Harry's parents to begin with?  What
is it about James and Lily that they needed a secret keeper to hide their
location?   What special powers or knowledge did they have to rate such
wrath?

Thanks to the moderators for creating such a wonderful group.

Leslie
