I agree with this analysis. We do know that very few
people knew that Voldemort was after the Potters. It
is mentioned in PoA but I don't have the book here in
the office. It is possible that Lily made this
prediction and told only her closest friends ...
perhaps seeing the death of her family and the
Fidelius charm was performed (at Dumbledores
suggestion) to try to prevent it from happening. Why
V. wanted the Potters is another question entirely.

I'm sorry to nitpick in my forst post but Fawkes
donated TWO tail feathers, not one. I believe it is
mentioned in the chapter 'Priori Incantatem' in GoF.
Again I don't have the book so I cannot give a page
reference.

Well I suppose there is rather a similarity between a
Phoenix and dear Voldie who after all has effectively
died and gone through a rebirthing ... just a thought
on the significance of the feather in Voldemorts wand.

LOL. That would be a bizarre twist.
Can I just say I'm really enjoying following the
discussion in this group and I am glad to finally be
part of it:)
