They could be the heirs, but I have many doubts about this being something
really important.
>He made a special effort to get rid of James and Harry (...)
Im not so sure that his efforts were to get rid of Harry AND James. I think
that Voldemort only wished to get rid of Harry and his parents got in the
way ( all the books states that Lily didnt have to die, but if Im not
mistaken Voldemort never states that *exactly*. He always tell about how
Harrys *parents* were stupid or didnt need to die. The only time we hear
Voldemort saying Lily didnt have to die is in Harrys memory of that day.
But, of course, Im not sure about this and I have big possibilities of
being very wrong; if I am, please tell me)
My *theory*
First some things that I got from the books:
-In PS I think Hagrid mentioned something about Voldemort... that it was odd
that he didnt try to approach the Potters before (and it *seems* to me that
he had plenty of time to do this). And in PoA (or GoF, Im not quite sure)
it says that it was just a year before the death of Harry parents that a spy
(Peter) began to give Voldemort information about Dumbledores group,
and, if Im not mistaken, that is at least close to Harrys birth day.
-In PoA Dumbledore says something about the divination professor. When Harry
tells about her *prophecy*, Dumbledore says something about that being the
second one. So what's the first one?
-In PS when Harry asks to Dumbledore why Voldemort want him, Dumbledore says
that he cannot tell him at that time, that when he became older he would
know.
Now, Voldemort had, at least, 20 years (probably more) to prepare himself,
to make his plans to take over the world, to gather the necessary
information, before he began his rise as the dark lord, and I assume that if
the heirs were important he would have made a research about who they were
and attacked them first. So why havent he attacked the Potters before? Why
havent he shown interest in them before Harry was born?
All this make me believe that the first prophecy of the divination professor
was about Harry (and the dark lord). When he was born, Peter for some reason
got afraid (maybe he misunderstood the prophecy...or no), and thought that
it was better to stay in the dark lord side.
So Peter tells Voldemort about the prophecy and Harry, and since then
becomes a spy. Voldemort then prepares himself to kill Harry. Dumbledores
spies inform him about that and Dumbledore began to try to protect the
Potters, until they finally decide to cast the charm of the secret
keeper.(You know what happens, and) Then Voldemort goes to the Potters with
the intention to kill Harry.
Maybe Voldemort killed all the Potter family, but I believe that it was just
in order to find out where Harry was. And about the heir thing, I believe
the Potter family could be the heir of Gryffindor but that wouldnt be of
extreme importance as I said before(IMHO)
Sorry if this was already discussed here (Im new here btw) and sorry if my
ideas were not organized properly, and sorry(this is the last) for my poor
English skills.
