I'm new here, so y'all back me up or shoot me down.

In the first book, I believe, Professor Quirrell was
boasted that he would hand over to Voldemort "the last
Potter."  So for whatever unexplained reason, Harry is
the last living Potter, and it is this fact that he is
a danger to Voldemort.  His mother, an Evans and a
Muggle-born, would not have any special significance
to him.  I seriously doubt that he had a
"relationship" with Lily (as I have seen suggested on
other boards.)  I think he was just giving her a way
out.

Personally, I think he would have killed her after
killing Harry.  I don't think he had any real use for
women.  IMHO

Now... in book 3, Professor Trelawney goes into a
trance and predicts the return of Voldemort. 
Dumbledore muses that that is perhaps her *second*
real prediction.  I have to wonder if (again, sorry if
this is a repeat on this board.) her *first* real
prediction was that a Potter would bring about LV's
downfall.
