We all know the prophecy could have meant either Neville or Harry, so why did this come out to Harry and not Neville?

Did Voldemort just not know about Neville? And if that was the case then why did he imediatley know about Harry?

My guess is that it had something to do with Lily. We all are also aware that Lily and the past of the wizarding world play important roles in the next book. That we will find out why Voldemort asked Lily to move instead of killing her instantly. We know there is something special about Lily. Was this something special how he found out about Harry?

And how could he not have known about Neville if this was the case?

I think you would remember a family if they had escaped your grasp three times already. Did Voldemort already know for a fact that Harry was born in July and immediatley go for him? And again how would he know this.

What do you think?


--------------------
"Severus?"
a little smile twisted Snape's mouth when she said his name
"Yeah?"

"Don't let it worry you" said Ron "It's me, I'm extremly famous."


I remember when they said I was crazy for my snape/lily shipping.....who's crazy now?
Albus Severus...I already love him
