Even if the Potters were becoming dangerous, they
couldn't have done anything while they were under the
Fidelius (sp??) Charm. They would have been out of the
way of Voldemort. Anyone that was making trouble for
Voldemort would have been called 'meddlesom fools', so
I don't think that had anything to do with it. 

Another thing, like before, what made them so special?
I don't have anymore theories on that, but I have the
question, why did Voldemort _apparently_ go to the
home alone. Even if there was someone(s) else there,
why did he not let them do the work to prove their
loyalties? Maybe the Potters were better than first
made to appear. 

But then that raises the question, why were two more
than qualified wizard and witch able to be taken down
so easily. If they were that good, Lily should have
stood with James why they dueled Voldie. They may
still have been defeated, but they would have gotten
in some good licks as well, and that would have also
been better protection for Harry instead of the one on
one that Lily tried to pull. 

My two cents
