I find it difficult to understand – if Voldemort felt some fear 
about Lily – he would kill her. If he wanted to use her, I think he 
would spare her – but I'm not sure this way "Stand aside, silly 
girl" is so dismissive, that I can't connect it with some great 
interest in her. I don't expect him to be cortous or respectful, but 
I would expect him to stun her, tie her, or somehow do something to 
ensure her availability for him. This is such a western-movie slang, 
that I come back to the theory, that he was willing to spare her for 
being "a girl" for someone. That would also explain why he decided 
to kill her when she didn't step aside – she wasn't important for 
him . I don't like this theory, but there it is. 
Perhaps he did want to use her  - for her potions-brewing, for her 
supposed Death-information, or to interrogate her about what is 
hidden in the locked room . For all we know, Voldemort might not 
know that it's love which is locked in there – he might just know 
that it's secret and locked – enough reason to interrogate her). 
Since he doesn't imagine she will sacrifice herself or endanger 
herself for Harry's sake, he mught htrink that offering her the 
opportunity to step aside, would be enough.  OK, agree.

Actually – what's the meaning of locking love in a room? I find this 
picture quite intriguing. What's the meaning of locking it in a 
room, what are the dangers of it?
