but, you are right, she might also be much more dangerous to play
around with. Why? Because if she defied him and escaped him a fourth
time, she may have had time to figure out about the Horcruxes.

If Lily had "stood aside" and escaped Voldemort, she wouldn't have 
defied him.  Instead, by standing her ground and protecting Harry, 
she *did* defy him, just as James did minutes earlier.

As we know, LV couldn't be sure whether Harry or Neville was the boy 
referenced by the prophecy.  Perhaps, by refusing to hand over their 
son and protecting him to the end, the Potters fulfilled part of the 
prophecy by defying Voldemort a third time.

Which begs the question, how did they defy him the two previous 
times?  Joining the Order?  There's so much for Book 7 . . .
