GEO: DD's spy in the Death Eaters most likely Snape told them that 
Voldemort was going after the Potters, which was why they did the 
whole business with the fidelius charm plus I believe Rowling 
herself confirmed that Voldemort picked the potters because of 
Harry's quality as a halfblood instead of the pureblooded Neville.

GEO: You seem to forget that Harry also has the power to vanquish 
Voldemort, which Voldemort knows not and which we have seen a 
demonstration of in the Ministry of Magic when he expelled Voldemort 
from his mind. Plus it was the same force that Voldemort 
underestimated and knows not that destroyed his first body in the 
Halloween of 1981, which ultimately helped in his rebirith in GoF 
and which I guess will ultimately allow Harry to destroy him forever.

GEO: Not anymore considering that Voldemort now has the blood 
protection within his veins and can touch the boy without suffering 
pain.

GEO: TO be exact, it seems that the Dark Lord is protected against 
being killed in general due to his immortality experiments. I think 
it more likely that Voldemort has introduced a crack in his 
immortality by using Harry's blood with the love protection of Lily 
to arise and be reborn again in GoF.
