but one question: y did voldy go after harry personally and only send his goons after neville??? i suppose the answer to this IS given somewhere in either ootp or Hbp... but i might've forgotten...
someone help me out!
here's my answer to my own question:
ok... remember... snape was the informer wasn't he??? now i'm pretty sure he knew that both harry's and neville's parents fit the prophecy's bill... as in... both had survived voldy's attacks THRICE...
but as we ALL know, snape had begun his INFAMOUS vendetta against james pottter way back at hogwarts... and he probably wanted to use voldy's wrath to get rid of the potters as well as the kiddo... of course, he didn't CARE about the baby, he wanted to make sure his work got done as well... and maybe that's why he brought only the POTTERS to voldy's attention...
but obviously, the inner circle of elite death eaters like bella and gang also knew of this prophecy... voldy might've told them... and then they might've decided to go finish off the longbottoms JUST IN CASE...
what say?😕
