Pippin:
But how do you explain Voldemort's failure to anticipate 
that Lily would willingly sacrifice her life? He knew that it
would be a very powerful countercurse (CoS), but it doesn't
seem to have dawned on him that she might use it.

Pippin:
Hmmm....Now  I'm  imagining an ESE Order member 
who grew impatient with Dumbledore's Fabian philosophy 
(Red Hen observes that many Order members seem to be named 
for members of the Fabian Society). One who thought that decency, 
mercy and morality were fine for one's friends but that enemies 
don't deserve such niceties. 

But Voldemort is cruel even to his allies.
