And let's not forget the CONSTANT harping about what a gifted, natural, phenomenal 
potion maker Lily was. I mean, to hear Slughorn talk, she was the most gifted witch 
he ever knew. Maybe Voldy thought she could be useful in that way. If you are as 
afraid of death as he is, just killing off Harry isn't going to make you feel you are safe 
from it forever....

Wow. Evil!Lupin. I certainly hope not. That would be a rather deflating and unfair 
thing to readers since nothing has ever pointed in that direction. I still also do not 
believe in the Harry as a Horcrux thing. Just too convoluted plus, if Voldy could barely 
stand to be inside Harry two seconds at the DoM, I can't see how a piece of his sould 
could reside there for many years.
