Doddie here:

Although I do like to think that there may be some Lily 
conspiracy....I think that the moment LV heard about a prophecy and 
the portion he heard from it. (he probably thought a muggle would be 
his downfall--given his family, how rich they were, what they had 
done(or rather, not done to) him over the years and thought it 
a "muggle" thing...rahter than a "nasty family/abusive family/broken 
family thing...

I do believe that killing muggles had been LV's "thing" since he 
heard what his father did to his mother. Then, he heard his part of 
the profecy...Horrific for LV as his greatest nemesis was NOT a  
muggle born..hence the "get out of the way silly girl"...He would 
say that to Lilly because of his prejudices....apparently a an heir 
to a wizard born muggle and a wizard means more than voldemort may 
think...hence he backed off the profecy...(because he is definitely 
not a geneticist!)

Only Voldemort knew his true origins, hence killing muggles wouldn't 
help him...(since killing his family did not)!

The only dichotomy in this is that Harry is able to see Lily in the 
Snape pensive scene... We have to ask if this is because Snape 
liked/loved lilly OR; if Malfoy had commissioned him to spy on who 
the heirs of the one "who can vanquish" might be created 
from...perhaps Snape had more knowledge on who the ONE may be before 
he even came to school..

What if Snape's education was paid for by the Malfoy family?!?!? 
What if it wasn't snape, or Pettigrew but rather Lucious Malfoy who 
was thrown from the Pub on the day the prophecy was made.

I makes sense that DD would believe what happened at the end of COS 
and not be alarmed if he did not already know that Lucious Malfoy 
had been tossed from the pub that day???!!!?!?!?!

Lucious is on the board of governors for the school...he has a great 
deal, if not complete(as the books have shown us) CONTROL of any 
appointments to the school thus far....

I sincerely hope than DD appoints a DADA teacher sooner, rather than 
later during Harrys sixth year at school.

While Lucious is in Azkaban!!!

Unfortunately for Harry...I believe after the fifth book...DD may 
not be around so much at Hogwarts...probably less so than if at all 
in the last..(((heavy sigh))))

It is really frustrating for the reader to read through all these 
books, yet only see Harry learn character lessons during one or 
three meetings out of the year.

Since he learns more from them than DD could ever do...I feel like a 
novice hiker on a 10 day hike through the Grand Canyon...only one 
cliff, with a glimpse of one gully...

What worse, is that no matter what the ending...I think I will feel 
the same...(heavy sigh)

Just a sickle's worth,
