Why is this unlikely? Has there ever been mention, I don't remember 
it if there was, of how many wizards were killed during Voldemorts 
last reign of terror? Could he not been purposely going AFTER the 
Heir of Gryffindor? Maybe James and Harry Potter were the last ones? 
Maybe he had killed all the others.

My Theory:

As everyone is guessing, Trelawney made the prediction. Possibly 
while in school, at Hogwarts, with Tom Riddle. (She was the Lavender 
Brown of her day. Worshipped her Divination teacher) The Divination 
teacher was teaching them, Trewlawney, then a student along with 
Riddle, makes this prediction IN CLASS! In front of Riddle. That one 
day, the Hier of Gryffindor would kill the hier of Slytherin. 
(This leads to MANY many philosophical questions such as "Did the 
Prediction make itself come true?" By predicting it, Tom Riddle who 
knew already he was the heir of Slytherin, realized he HAD to turn 
evil, find the Hier's of Gryffindor and kill them, before they could 
kill him. A Self fulfilling prophecy) 
Tom Riddle turns evil so he can assure his own survival by killing 
the heirs of Gryffindor. His entire "War" on the WW was to save his 
own life. He purposely set out to kill the Gryffindor hiers. James 
and Harry Potter were the last ones. That how James KNEW that 
Voldemort would be coming after him and why he and Lily took Harry 
and went into hiding.

Sybil Trelawney caused it all. :))

It works!

Anyone else??
