Carol:
> If Lily were holding baby Harry, wouldn't Voldemort have been able 
to kill Harry without killing Lily first? Voldemort's request (or 
order)for her to "Stand aside" suggests that she was blocking his 
way,perhaps standing in the doorway of Harry's room with the baby 
behind her in his crib. (That doesn't in any way invalidate your 
theory that losing his mother caused little Harry to fear getting 
close to people, but I don't have any views on that topic. I'm more 
interested in what happened at Godric's Hollow.)


Estela:

I don't think Lily was holding Harry when she died, because if she 
had, Harry would have seen Voldemort killing her, and we know that 
Cedric was the first person he saw die - if he had seen Lily dying, 
he would have seen the thestrals since his first school year, just 
like Luna, and he hasn't. I agree with Carol when she says that maybe 
Voldemort asked her to stand away because she was blocking a doorway, 
but I don't think it was Harry's doorway. Although I'm sure she, as 
James, was pretty near him when she died, because the dementors make 
him "remember" their last words, so he must have heard them...
