Why LV must kill Harry?

Well, there's a lovely little theory explaining why Voldemort killed
Harry and wanted to spare Lily. From Hypothetic Alley...

---------------------------------

An even more appalling Ewww variant (once dubbed "Even Ewwwer")
proposes that Voldemort wanted Lily for himself "for strategic
reasons." [34,945, 34,955]

"The 'Even EWWWWWWWer' Theory, for those who've lost track, posits
that Voldemort was willing to spare Lily's life because he'd heard
some vague prophecy about how Lily's son would win the war for his
father's side. [Voldemort] planned to get rid of Harry and make Lily
bear him a new son, thus turning the prophecy to his own advantage;
when Lily would have none of this, he decided to kill her and Harry
both, and it's at that point that the prophecy bit him on the ass in
the way most prophecies do." [35,541]

-----------------------------------

And although it's nothing to do with why he wanted to get rid of Harry...

--------------------------

By far the most grotesque of the Ewwww theories, "So EWWWer It's In
the SEWWWer," proposes that Voldemort did indeed briefly contemplate
sparing Lily's life so that he could keep her all to himself, but not
so that she could bear him an heir, or anything useful like that.
Nope. No, he just plain wanted her. [35,015]

This variant requires no further explanation.

As for me, I'm sticking with the ordinary "Trelawney's first prophecy
said Harry was a danger" with a side-helping of "TEWW EWW to be
TREWW": the Peter Pettigrew version i.e. Voldemort had promised Lily
to Peter.
