Am I the only one who thought that Voldemort was planning to kill 
both Harry and Neville.  Maybe he just found Harry first.  I guess 
that's not very satisfying but it makes sense.  I mean, if Voldemort 
was willing to kill one baby to protect himself, why not two?  It's 
not like he didn't kill people all the time anyway.

Of course he was after James and Lily.  They were fighting him.  
They weren't the only people he was after by any means.  Didn't 
Moody mention some witch that was killed by Voldemort personally?
