Here's what I want to know:  what exactly is meant by "thrice defied"?  
Were the Potters (or the Longbottoms, for that matter) ever in a 
position to go along with Voldemort?  Weren't they always against him 
to begin with, making their acts of defiance a much longer list than 
three?  What exactly counts as defying?  Was it Voldemort telling Lily 
to step aside?  Or something he said to James?  Or was it something 
they did as a couple?

Dummyhead Voldie would be a good band name, 'cause that was funny
