Anne:
I read that part to mean Harry's and Neville's parents had never
achieved *four* escapes from LV (merely three each).

My idea of the escape JKR doesn't mean to count is the one at Godric's
Hollow, becaue it is the only time in which Harry himself did
absolutely nothing on his own account and so it cannot be counted as
one of his acts of defiance against LV.

Another possible FLINT - have you discussed this? - is Harry's being
able to call Kreacher to 4 Privet Drive as proof of ownership.  If
that's how house elves respond, then in OoP, when Kreacher was
missing, and Sirius called him, why didn't Kreacher warp back from
Malfoy Manor?

In case anyone's wondering, I believe:
-Snape Hates Everybody, including LV (which is why he'll still be
useful to Harry) *sports a badge with S.H.E. in vivid green*
-Regulus makes a wonderful RAB; anyway, his note said "_discovered_
your secret" which makes it 80% pure dumb luck
-If Harry('s scar) is a Hx, I'll be extremely peeved that DD either
never though of that (considering how well he seemed to understand
that scar), or didn't mention it during his big These Are The Hxs You
Must Look For speech
-I'll never properly catch up on this list, let alone any of the others...
