I was thinking about what Harry saw in the Mirror of Erised. Several posts 
have questioned whether Lord Voldemort killed all of those people and why, 
iif he did kill off all those people, he wanted to kill off the entire Potter 
line. It occurs to me though that the mass of people Harry sees in the Mirror 
of Erised might not be real. I mean, Harry's deepest desire was probably 
something like being with a big family of people who all love and care about 
him, so the Mirror of Erised showed him just exactly what he wanted to see. 
Or, those people could in fact be generations of his family most of which 
died a long time ago of natural causes. Either way, I don't think its safe to 
assume that Lord Voldemort killed off all those people or that all those 
people were in fact Harry's family. Just a thought! Jana
