This brings up an interesting question:  How many people know WHY 
Voldemort wanted to kill Harry?  We can assume that Dumbledore knows 
because when Harry asked him-he told him he could not reveal the 
reason.  Of course, Voldemort knows-but how many of the DEs know?-
Pettigrew? Malfoy? Snape?  How many of Dumbledore's gang knows?-
Hagrid? McGonagal? Sirius? Lupin?  Obviously, quite a few- how else 
would Harry have the amount of protection he has had?   I agree that 
this "secret" is they key to the HP series-the ultimate goal of which 
is the destruction of Voldemort. IMO, there has to be a connection 
between Voldemort's desire for Harry's death and Voldemort's demise.  
Fear of destruction or the quest for some secret power hidden within 
Harry (the secret of immortality perhaps-ie..all the references to 
the phoenix?, his mother's green eyes?, being the heir of 
Gryffindor?) seems to be the driving force behind Voldemort's actions 
in regards to Harry. Harry is the key-why?- we can only guess!!!
