Yeah! Someone had asked what Lily and James did for a living, and I wouldn't 
be surprised if they were Aurors. Why else would Voldie have a grudge against 
them? I remember someone saying in PoA, during the Three Broomsticks scene 
where Harry finds out about Sirius' friendship with James, that "Lily and 
James knew the Dark Lord was after them." After THEM, not Harry. Until then, 
I thought Harry was the intended target all along, but now I'm not sure.
