In reading GoF, several things occured to me:  when Mad-Eye taught 
the students to overcome the Imperious curse, it seemed he was doing 
V a disfavor by making Harry strong.  What then is the voice that 
guides him?  
I say it's the great wizard Griffyndor, and Harry is somehow a 
throwback to the old wizard.  
The other idea which occured to me:  I hope this has not already been 
covered, that Harry's birth had been prophesied, that Dumbledore and 
others knew this baby would be special.  It seems V wasn't after Lily 
and James at all, but Harry himself, perhaps aware of his special 
gifts.  
One thing more and I'll go away--Harry seems to be the character of 
all the houses: Bravery for Griffyndor, Loyalty for 
Hufflepuff, 'quick thinking' as Ravenclaw, and parsel tongue for 
Slytherin.  V should fear such a person.
Bye.
