Is that a relief. Thought for a minute I'd slipped a cog or two and had
forgotten some key part of the plot.

Hickengruendler (85105) suggests that Voldy was driven by the 
Potters protection of his nemesis. But did he know for sure that Harry
was his target? I don't  believe so, after all even DD wasn't certain at
the time.

You know, I've had the most ridiculous idea running through my head
for the past few weeks.
Where did the Potter's fortune come from? Inherited from the Riddles 
perhaps? A rich family and Voldy couldn't inherit under UK law.
No evidence, just this crazy idea I can't get out of my head that Harry
is related to Voldemort. Under these circumstances 'defiance' need not
necessarily be associated with the Order. Marriage, maybe?
OK, don't all  laugh at once.

And Nora, I argue for *hours* and need lots of beer.
