Hi,  Just a odd sort of idea here... but, maybe LV, wanted to make
Lily suffer, (ie. see her husband and son killed) then kill or make
her live with the suffering he (LV) had inflicted on her.  REALLY
EVILLLL people like suffering... the more they cause the more they
love it.
I know a very simple idea, but, I think one that would appeal to LV.

I also kinda (just a little bit) think that Wormtail wanted her.  Ya
know like "Oh look everybody, I got James Potters wife!  Woo Hoo!
Arn't I cool"  But, just a little... 'cause it crossed my mind that
Wormtail, would *do* something like that.  But, oh well... I know...
it is more than likely something about Lily being able to have really
powerful wizard children or something... and LV wanted Lily to be his
breeding machine or something gross like that.. ick..

just odd thoughts.. I need a nap.. Tj
