"First of all, how did Voldemort find out that Lily worked in the 
Veil room or Love room, if she indeed did? Just asking for your 
speculations, of course. Snape or Peter or something else?"

CH3ed:
I don't think it had to be Snape or Peter or any of the OotP who 
ratted on Lily's work at the DoM. LV had a lot of spies inside the 
MoM, including Rookwood who works in the DoM itself, so it is likely 
LV knew most of what went on in MoM (as far as his spies knew, that 
is).

"Why would Voldemort find Lily studying death worrisome? Because he 
may think that she is ahead of him in his immortality quest or 
something like that and him killing her will not work? I am still 
not sure why he would not try though? He certainly tries to kill 
Dumbledore in the battle of MoM, no? I mean, I understand Voldemort 
finding Lily to be a powerful and worthy opponent, but if we are to 
believe Voldemort when he brags to his DE during Graveyard, didn't 
he figure out that Lily invoked ancient magic which he 
underestimated only after the fact? I don't know it just does not 
make sense to me that even if Voldemort WAS afraid of Lily or 
whatever she was studying of a great deal that he would not TRY to 
kill her. "

CH3ed:
I suspect LV wanted some information from Lily (if she was studying 
death, indeed). Maybe he wanted to know if she knew about Horcrux 
making and any limitations of its effectiveness? If 7 is truly the 
optimal number of horcruxes to have? Or whether there is any side 
effects of making them that LV didn't already know about yet? I 
think for the answers to those questions LV would be willing to keep 
her alive for a while (and then off her later once he has all the 
info that Lily could provide).

"How do you think Voldemort came to know AT ALL about what happened 
as result of Lily sacrifice and whatever magic Dumbledore involved 
to protect Harry? It is not like Dumbledore gave him a detailed 
report, right? :-) "

CH3ed:
I think LV have read about the effect of such a sacrifice before but 
had forgotten it by the time he attacked at GH (his 16 yrs old self 
even realized it when Harry told him what happened in CoS, so LV had 
read or heard of such magic by the time he was 16). The real LV 
would have realized what he forgot when the rebounded AK ripped him 
from his body. And then that was confirmed when LV/Quirrell couldn't 
touch Harry in PS/SS.  :O)

"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."

CH3ed:
I think it would make more sense if you assume that there is another 
person there with LV(so LV would try to be non-challant about Lily 
because he likes to be seen as superior to all others... the ego 
thing).

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

CH3ed:
It is intriguing indeed!! There are many kinds of love though. As 
Slug mentioned it when he was describing the love potion in his 
class. Harry is great with brotherly love (which I think we can't 
have too much of), but obsessive and jealous love is downright 
dangerous (it makes you do things you wouldn't normally do). 
Love...a two-edged sword with an appealing name. It would take some 
special personality to be able to work with it without getting too 
affected by it, I guess. ;O) 

CH3ed :O)
