stand aside *again.* When she didn't stand aside after (at least)
two warnings, he killed her, then tried to kill Harry.
This is a classic case of two views of the same canon. Where you see
two warnings as being a real effort to move Lily (and to be fair, it
was probably more than what he usually did), I think it was a pretty
poor effort if he really wanted to kill Harry without killing her.
pg 134 UK (Grim Defeat)
- Not Harry, please no, take me, kill me instead--"
Later on the page. "-Not Harry! Please... have mercy... have mercy..."
Obviously we don't know for sure that this is what really happened,
but I tend to believe this is Harry's subconscious memories, and they
are fairly accurate.
And in the first film, the James and Lily death scene, which Lexicon
(I believe) considers canon because JKR wrote it, Lily wasn't
attacking."
Now Me:
I believe that we are in the right track about the real motives
Voldemort had to kill Harry. If you read carefully the quote above we
can see that:
1) Lilly knew that Voldemort wanted to kill Harry (possibly the
motive, too).
2) She believed(or hoped) that she could be killed instead of Harry
(what turns stronger that she would know the motive).
3) Voldemort were ther to kill at least Harry and SHE REALLY COULD
NOT BE KILLED, or her words would be in vain (because she would be
killed anyways...)
That brings the old discussion about Mrs Trellawney first correct
prediction or some black magic in order to give voldemort esternal
Life.
I personally believe that the VOLDEMORT HAD A LIFE BOND WITH LILLY
AND BY AN ANCIENT MAGIC TRANSFERED THIS BOND TO HARRY (any ideas of
an acronym with this idea?). But I believe that Canon at least
confirm the 1-3 ideas above.
