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.>>

Now me:

Well, here's something that just crossed my mind:
JKR makes a big deal about life-debts, i.e. James saving Severus and Harry saving Pettigrew.  Well, Harry's saved them all.  All the men, women, crazy old people and itty bitty babies, so.....wouldn't the ENTIRE WW owe him a *massive* life debt?

I'm also curious to know why LV wanted to off Harry (and James) in the first place.  Lily was the only one of them who LV *might* have spared, so this says to me it's something to do with the Potter blood.  *shrug* I'm sure it will have to be touched on in later books, so I vote for "wait and see."  At this point I really don't think we have enough information to even make an educated guess.

Cheers all!
