What Harry Doesn't Know

I've been thinking about what DD might disclose to Harry when he 
tells him "everything," and I have an idea.

We have learned in the first four books that James faced Voldemort on 
his own to try to give Lily and Harry time to escape, and that Lily 
gave her life defending Harry. That made me think that Harry was 
Voldemort's real target, not James & Lily.

I think Dumbledore will tell Harry that, when Voldemort was around 
the first time, a group of witches, wizards and other interested 
magical parties joined together to try and help defeat him. These 
people were the latest members of the Order of the Phoenix, an 
ancient and secret society that rises whenever anything threatens the 
peace and security of the magical community. The Order learned that 
a powerful seer predicted that an evil would arise that would 
threaten not only the magical community, but the muggle world as 
well. They came to believe that this was Voldemort. Furthermore, I 
think DD will explain that the seer also predicted that the evil 
could be weakened, but would only ultimately be completely defeated 
by a special child – the child of a union between magical and
muggle 
families. This child, if he lived, would be the most powerful wizard 
ever known and the most compassionate protector of muggles too. When 
Harry was born, the members of the Order, including Harry's
parents, 
were deep into the fight against Voldemort. They came to believe 
that Harry was this child. Voldemort believed it too, and that is 
why he was after Harry. 

Dumbledore will tell Harry that the prophecy is right. Harry is more 
than the heir of Gryffindor. He is the chosen defender of good 
magic.
