Yes, we all know that Harry survived Avada because
Lily died protecting him. Come to think of it, though,
during the Voldie years, a person dying protecting
another could not be that uncommon. Not only the
Voldie era -- there are other evil wizards and wizard
wars as well. So Harry's survival may not be much of a
big deal. Yet apparently only Harry survived the
curse.
I have this question: Lily died protecting Harry --
from Voldemort. Could other wizards kill him (as he
was protected only from voldemort), or does that
protecting love make him Avada-proof to anyone? Surely
Voldie could have just hired others to kill Harry
(come on, he has a bunch of death eaters) unless he
was the typical evil warlord who wants to kill the
protagonist himself.
And talking about killing Harry, here are some ways
Voldie could have done it (not that I'm being
saddistic):
1. Use any muggle killing tool.
-I don't think love can protect you from bullets
or knives. I've already speculated on this possibility
already, and others said that guns and knives are to
muggley for a muggle-hater like Voldie to use, so here
are other fatality methods:
2. Expose him to screaming mandrakes.
-We all know the mature ones are fatal.
3. Let him see the basilisk's eyes.
-Easy for a parseltongue to do.
4. Drop him from a height.
Winggardium Leviosa, then undo.
5. Pour him lots of undiluted bobutuber pus until he
dies of infection or something.
-Okay, I could not think of more ways but I'm
sure there still are many. Try checking Fantastic
Beasts.
We can assume that Voldie knows these methods, being
the all-powerful wizard that he is (he did the
basilisk thing on book 2, so easy I wonder why he
never actually got to kill somebody).
But does he know that the protecting love protects? As
I have said before, this could not be too uncommon.
