Potioncat:

My point has less to do with bloodline definitions and more 
with trying to understand the logic of what Dumbledore was 
trying to tell Harry, or what Voldemort's thinking was. When 
I rephrase it as I did above, is Voldemort's logic clear to 
you? In a strong sense, neither Harry nor Neville are like 
Voldemort in the circumstances of their birth. So why DID 
Voldemort choose Harry over Neville?

My apologies for not replying to some comments others' had asked of me - I finally went on holiday - whippeee!  But bare with me will eventually get to those once I manage to successfully manoeuvre the site.

I absolutely love this question.  The prophecy was another farce, I've tried everywhich way to scramble sense out of it, and it hurts my feeble brain lol.  I gather JKR meant for Voldemort to have seen himself in Harry long before his soul latched onto Harry, however both her and Dumbledore aren't doing a good job of 'splaining :)

But I'm saying it now if I haven't so before, this story is not Harry's it's Snape's!!!  It always was :)  Any explanation that excludes the Snape factor in Riddle gunning for Harry over Neville will undoubtedly fall short.
