Whew.....I'm really glad someone else asked this question because I 
was wondering the exact same thing and it was bothering me so much 
that I figured that it Had to have been discussed before.

Since Voldemort went through so much trouble to find the Potters and 
the Potters went through so much trouble to hide from Voldemort, 
there had to have been a reason.  I think that there is some secret 
or special power or knowledge that the Potters possess that Voldemort 
wanted.

Somewhere at the end of PS/SS, Dumbledore tells Harry that there are 
things about him that he would not be able to know or understand 
until he was older.  Does this have something to do with the vendetta 
that Voldemort has against the Potters?  (Again, please excuse the 
lack of ability to quote but I listened to all four books on audio)

We know that Voldemort was at Hogwarts 50 years ago which would make 
him somewhere in his 60's, a lot older than James and Lily.  For him 
to have wanted the Potters so badly, it had to have been big.
