SSSusan:
I agree that this *is* a distinct possibility, but I've always had a 
suspicion that this is one of those parts of the GH story that we 
DON'T fully understand yet.  I'm inclined to think it *wasn't* Voldy 
just being cruel & messing w/ Harry's mind, but that there really 
was a reason that Voldythingy would have been willing to spare 
Lily.  I can't for the life of me fathom what it would be, but I'm 
hoping it's a doozy of a reason.
