Actually it was the other way around. US Version Chapter 27 pg 842 

"He chose the boy he thought most likely to be a danger to him." said 
Dumbledore. "And notice this Harry. He chose, not the pureblood (which, according to 
his creed is the only kind of wizard worth being or knowing), but the half 
blood, like himself.  He saw himself in you before he had ever seen you, and in 
marking you with that scar he did not kill you, as he intended, but gave you 
powers, and a future, which have fitted you to escape him not once, but four 
times so far -- something that neither your parents, nor Neville's parents ever 
achieved"
