Ah, now we're plunging into the deep heart of 'Harry Potter', aren't we? It's nothing too complicated, really. Voldemort, or 'He Who Must Not Be Named', killed Harry's parents, Lily and James Potter, because of a prophecy he heard.

According to the prophecy, a boy born at the end of July, to parents who had defied Voldemort three times, could eventually bring about his downfall. This could refer to two boys: Neville Longbottom and our beloved Harry Potter. Sadly, Voldemort chose the latter because he identified more with Harry, who, like him, was a half-blood wizard.

Now here's where it gets a bit emotional. When Voldemort arrived at the Potters' house in Godric’s Hollow, he intended to kill only Harry, not his parents. However, Lily and James, being absolutely wonderful parents, put up a fight. James unfortunately fell to Voldemort’s wand. When Lily was given the chance to step aside but refused to out of love for her son, she too, was killed. In doing so, she unwittingly cast an ancient protection spell on Harry through her sacrifice, granting him powerful protection against Voldemort’s curse.

To sum it up, it was Voldemort’s fear, resulting from the prophecy, that led to the tragic murder of Lily and James Potter. It's bitter irony in its purest form. A prophecy hinting at his downfall drove him to actions that directly led to it - attempted murder of a baby who survived and returned to vanquish him. Oh, the cruel twist! But that's what makes 'Harry Potter' such a compelling saga, I suppose.

Voldemort killed Harry Potter's parents because of a prophecy. The prophecy said a boy born at the end of July to parents who had defied Voldemort three times would have the power to vanquish him. Voldemort thought this boy was Harry. Since Harry's parents, James and Lily, would surely protect their son, Voldemort had to kill them to get to Harry. Also, he respected their skills and saw them as a threat.

Voldemort's obsession with killing Harry Potter stems from a prophecy made before Harry's birth. The prophesy stated that a boy born at the end of July, to parents who had escaped Voldemort three times, would become a threat to the Dark Lord's power. Harry, born to James and Lily Potter, matched this description, as did Neville Longbottom. Yet, Voldemort chose Harry to be his rival, marking him as an equal. Interestingly, by attempting to kill Harry, he unknowingly ensured his own downfall because he inadvertently turned Harry into a Horcrux by leaving a piece of his soul in him. This act made Harry's survival imperative to Voldemort's destruction.

As a child, I always saw Voldemort as this evil character who would stop at nothing to murder Harry simply because he was, in fact, quite bad. However, now that I'm grown up and reread the books, it turns out there's more to him than that after all.It all began with a prophecy. The prophecy said that a boy born at the end of July would be able to defeat Voldemort. There were two boys who fit this description - Harry Potter and Neville Longbottom. The reason why Voldemort chose to go after Harry lies in the fact that both are half-bloods.When he tried to kill Harry, Voldemort was actually stealing his own life force. Isn't that wicked?

Actually, Harry didn't use a particular spell to kill Voldemort. It was the rebounding effect of the killing curse, 'Avada Kedavra', that Voldemort cast on Harry. Instead, Harry cast 'Expelliarmus', a disarming charm, which caused Voldemort's spell to backfire due to the Elder Wand's loyalty.

Well, this part of the Potterverse gets really deep. Voldemort's killing of Snape was a matter of convoluted intricacies, rooted in his beliefs about the Elder Wand's allegiance. Voldemort believed in the 'wand ownership transfer through murder' theory. He was convinced that Snape, who had killed Albus Dumbledore, was the master of the Elder Wand. Consequently, he believed that to become the rightful owner and unlock the full power of the Elder Wand, he needed to kill Snape. Now here's where it gets darkly ironic. Voldemort, an epitome of cunning and power, was misled by his own theories. The Elder Wand's allegiance had already shifted to Harry, not through murder, but disarmament. Draco Malfoy, not Snape, was the one who'd disarmed Dumbledore prior to his death. Harry later disarmed Draco, making him unbeknownst the wand's genuine master. Yet, Voldemort's misinterpretation led to Snape's tragic end. Snape dies, in the end, revealing another truth to Harry through his memories—a truth about his undying love for Lily Potter. Snape's death, thus, turned out to be one of the most heartbreaking moments in the books. Through his death, a misunderstood character transformed into a tragic anti-hero, etching a permanent place in readers' hearts.
