targeted James, Lily and Harry in the first place?


Me:  Actually, I think it's because Harry is the only real threat to Voldemort in existance and he needed to kill him off.  This is sort of the Hatfield-McCoy line you mentioned but it is more than a freud.  I think killing Harry is absolutely necessary for Voldemort.

Was killing James Potter also necessary?  I know killing Lilly wasn't.  But remember what everybody keeps saying about Harry.  "You look extrodinarily like your father.  Except you have your mother's eyes." (Dumbledore in PoA)  This is extremely important although it's actual significace has not been revealed to us and won't be until book 7 I'm sure.  But I don't think James Potter was the main goal, although he was an enemy and somebody Voldemort would go after anyways in his war to take absolute control.  But I think the MAIN purpose for the attack was all about Harry all along.  Huggs Becky
