boyd:

Or 1. Go about his business blissfully unaware of the prophecy for 
many moons, 2. Hear it from the Hogsmeade eavesdropper (whoever 
that is) after the births, 3. Go berserkly paranoid, forcing Pettigrew 
to tell the Potters' location (or alternatively just ask Peter if he's  
already a traitor) and sending Barty Jr. and Narcissa off to get the 
Longbottoms, and 4a. B*gger. Or 4b. Go complete some super-duper 
age-defying cream that just needs essence of baby Potter to be 
complete and then b*gger.

We still don't know who the eavesdropper was, so there just might be a 
story there. And we still don't know whether there was some other 
reason LV wanted the Potters or the Longbottoms, because we don't 
know yet what happened in GH. I mean, did the prophecy drive his 
actions, or did the prophecy merely foretell his actions?

Clearly, the answer is 42.

Random thought: If the Potters and the Longbottoms both had 
secret-keepers, why not send each secret-keeper to the others' secret 
house? Then no one could ever find either! Or would that create a rift 
in the time-space continuum that would destroy the universe in a 
cataclism of, well, cataclismic proportions?
