Why is Harry so important, and so what if he dies?

The wizarding world believe that Harry Potter defeated Voldemort. 
They don't know how, and I am sure that they probably don't care as 
much as they are greatful that LV is gone.
 
This is *why* Harry is so important. It would seem pretty ungreatful 
if the wizarding world left him to die after he saved them. They owe 
him some kind of protection (and accolade) being that he saved them 
and lost his parents at the same time.

Me:
What about the Potters' house, it was called "Godric Hollow", and 
remember the Gryffindor sword thing in the Chamber of Secrets, 
Dumbledore said something along the lines of "Only a true Gryffindor 
could use that sword" (sorry for the lack of a proper quote, but I 
don't have my book here with me).

What if James had anything to do with Godric Gryffindor (or perhaps 
Lily had anything to do with him?), and because of that, so does 
Harry? And that is why he poses a big enough threat to LV that he has 
to go and kill the whole Potter family.

Pickle Jimmy:
So, the big question isn't "why is he famous *now*", or "why do the 
WW want to protect him *now*" - rather (like campergirl asked first 
up) it's "Why did Voldemort want to kill Harry in the first place?"

And the answer: 42 (which is of course, the ultimate answer to life, 
the universe, and everything - see HitchHikers Guide to the Galaxy)

Me:
And God's message to his creation is "We apologize for the 
inconvenience..."
