Ceridwen:
LOL!

But there was no PI'o performed on LV's wand.  The PI'm that took place 
in the graveyard, due to the brother wand thing, only pulled the dead 
out of LV's wand, and then only the most recent killings.  It didn't, 
for instance, show LV or PP using it to button LV's shirt or anything 
that mundane.  It didn't show any other killings before James and Lily, 
either.

Ceridwen:
Yes, LV did do the AK that killed James and Lily.  Even if he parcels 
out his killings based on importance, killing the Prophecy Kid and his 
parents would be important enough for him to do the deed personally.

Ceridwen:
It's too early in the morning, I honestly don't recall just now if the 
first part of the prophecy contains that information.  I don't *think* 
it does, but please don't quote me!  My brain will return sometime this 
afternoon.  I do think he sees this killing as too important to leave 
to anyone else.  Maybe the DEs don't know the prophecy, either - it 
could make LV sound vulnerable, he might not have let them know.
