<div class="moz-cite-prefix"> For these questions and others
relating to fan fiction or the original books themselves, I would
think that the stories were written as they were (and bought into)
so one would be brought along on the narrative. If it were that
simple to kill Harry by killing his aunt and uncle, what good
would come of that? No Harry Potter series? <br>

<p>Hi all, Which I realize may have been
answered before, so I am sorry in advance if
such is the case. I have just this afternoon
finished reading one of the more extensive
bits of fan fiction. Its called The
Dangerous Universe series, and I cannot
recommend it enough, although you must stick
with it, if not swiftly caught up in the
story, easy truth be told I am no judge of
course, it is only the second such series I
have finished so far. In any case, something
that happens in this alternative telling got
me wondering. Why did not Voldemort just
kill Petunia to reach Harry? Certainly, even
though they treated Harry beyond terribly,
their presence serves some important
purposes for the writer, for the story.
Still, it would have been rather easy to
remove that haven for Harry would it not?
Thoughts if anyone wants to discuss. Frankly
reading this surprisingly detailed effort
has me likely planning yet another read of
the novels themselves smiles. That and
starting one of the other fan fiction pieces
provided me by a list member as well. On a
personal note, my sincere thanks to those
who did this for me off list. All the
options helped me manage a particularly
challenging holiday season in a fashion that
might not have otherwise been possible.
cheers, Kare<br>
