I was wondering if perhaps Jo chose the night of Halloween as the
night of the attack at Godric's Hollow not only to immediately make us
connect with a story of witches and wizards, but if perhaps there was
a deeper meaning.  Halloween has morphed from the Celtic feast day of
Samhain, the beginning of winter.  This was one of the four nights of
the year when the gods drew nearer to the earthly world.  Could there
be some significance in this for why Voldy attacked young Harry on a
night that the gods would be close to the earth?
