Yes, DD does say this; but how does he *know*?
Or is he guessing? (A  bit of post fact rationalising, perhaps?)

IMO Voldy went after Harry because  he  could. With Pettigrew
feeding him information he probably saw Harry as a sitting duck.
It was his attack that turned Harry  into his supposed nemesis,
it was the attack that gave Harry his powers, both from Lily and
from Voldemort. If he had  attacked Neville instead we would be
reading 'Neville Longbottom and the Thingy of Whatsit'.

And what of himself would Voldy see  in Harry? Some Muggle blood.
Not exactly mindblowing, is it?

Unless, of course, DD is referring to some other connection between
the two that is yet to be revealed. Something the Paranoid League of 
Conspiracy Theorists have been wondering about.

That  could  be a whole new cauldron of flobberworms.
