"My theory is that LV did not *choose* HP at this moment at all.  He was going to kill both kids.  <snip> LV didn't make the choice not to attack Neville he didn't have the chance to attack him.  <snip> Lily's sacrifice for Harry *vanquished* LV.  It really had nothing to do with Harry Potter whatever."


 

This is all very well, but LV still marked HP when he attacked him first.  It might have been NL if VL had done him first, *but he didn't!*  It just a waiste of time writitng a series of seven books about our hero, just to find out that he's not!  I don't think JKR would do that to us. I'm that naive...
