Juli: I'm thinking about what you just wrote, maybe
one of the three times the Potters faced LV and got
away, he may have seen something in her eyes, I don't
think it could be love, it could have been that same
power Harry has, and as he is not able to handle it
(as we saw during the brief possession at the MoM) and
hates it, so he could have thought: I'll kill him now
while he's a baby and his power's not fully developed.
As he knew Lily also had the power, that's why he was
reluctant to kill her, he may have known she was too
much for him, but because she sacrificed herself for
Harry, he was able to kill her but not Harry. Am I
making any sense?
