I'm not too sure about this, Vivian. Lily didn't really have to put a 
spell on Harry to have her love in him. Anyone could have seen that a 
mother has for their child would be greater than any spell, no one 
had to warn Voldy about Lily's love.

When JK introduced the time-turner I wondered why no one ever went 
back in time and try to save the Potters, but I'm not too sure that 
Harry is the one to do it, he probably will (if he even is let to go 
back in time which I don't think will happen either).

vmonte again:
I'm not saying that someone warned Voldemort that Lily loved Harry. 
What I'm saying is that someone warned Voldemort that harming Lily 
would somehow backfire on him.  They told Voldemort to go after 
Harry, only, and to leave Lily unharmed. This "snitch" did not have 
the full details of how Lily protected Harry, but was aware that she 
was working on something. This "snitch" is probably the same person 
that heard the prophecy.

I hate time-travel stories (although I think that JKR has done a good 
job with it), but it's definitely coming back. And no, Harry will not 
be able to save his parents because it was their choice to die. They 
believed that that was the only way Harry would survive, and they 
made sure that no one could interfere with their plans. Not even 
Dumbledore knows the full details of what happened at GH.
