I've noticed that J.K. hasn't said very much about Harrys parents yet. Like she hasn't told us what they did for a living (their job was). She also hasn't explained where all of the gold came from (you know Harry's small Fortune). Tell me your thoughts.

Judging by the number/type of friends that they had, it seems like they were respected, important people. That makes me think that their jobs were significant and had something to do with Lord Voldie - which would explain them being murdered and the good pay (Harry's inheritance).

I definitely agree they must have had great jobs, being head boy and girl I'm sure that ensures you a great position in what ever field you're looking at. Whatever they did, it must have been something Voldemort wanted to have on his side; otherwise he wouldn't have been so keen on trying to persuade them... Well giving them an ultimatum would be a better way to put it.

Wow, I never really thought of that! Great theory, Miranda! It completely makes sense! I have to agree with her on that one! =)

Maybe they worked in the Department of Mysteries? Unspeakables, as they call it.

QUOTE Maybe they worked in the Department of Mysteries? Unspeakables, as they call it. yeah, they could've been Unspeakables, and they just foiled something big that old  had cooking and then he was out to get them for it, which is why they had to go into hiding... But in the book, he was after James Potter (I think) and then went for Harry, but Lily protected him, Voldie told her to get out of the way, he was after Harry... That's it! Because the Potter line is a descendant of Godric Griffindor's, and voldie may have just figured it out, so he went to end the line, that's why he didn't want to kill Lily... He wanted to finish of the heir's to Griffinor!!!

Hmm... Godric Gryffindor line? Could be. But why would the Gryffindor line be of a threat to Voldemort?
I think Voldemort set out to kill just Harry. James only died because he confronted Voldemort and tried to fight him, to buy Lily more time to whisk Harry away, obviously stating that Voldemort wanted Harry.

In the POA, when the dementors come near harry, he hears his voldemort coming to kill his parents, and their final words, and voldermort says to Lily, "get out of the way" so he's not interested in her, he wants to kill harry, and end the gryffindor line, cos it was already proven that voldemort is the heir to slytherin.
I'm not sure why the gryffindor line is a threat the the slytherin line, but you never know, we might find out in the next book, there's probably a whole heap of history that JK will develop for us....

Hmm... That is very possible. J.K Rowling said there was a clue or something significant in the 2nd book (or was it in the Chamber?) that will have something to do with what's going to happen in the future book/s.
He didn't want anything to do with Lily... yes... But did it sound like he wanted to kill James too? We don't know I guess, because James faced him bravely on his free will without indicating if Voldemort wanted to kill him or not.

That's true, I'm just assuming on my part, that was out to kill james. But in the POA, they find out that "Voldemort's next target was the Potter's", combined with the fact that he wasn't out to kill Lily, sort of lead me to the conclusion that he was out to kill James and Harry, the Potter's, the heirs to gryffindor.... it's just a theory....

That heir to gryffindor theory does have a lot of weight to it but the books have a big emphasis on the non-importance of blood (i.e. mud-bloods, Hermione etc) it would be kinda cheap to turn around and say its important again.

It's not a question about purity of blood, Harry's 1/2 muggle so there's no problem there. It's the fact that Godric Gryffindor's powers are in Harry. Even though Voldemort is the heir to Slytherin, the book never said that he was a direct descendant of Salazar (did it?), and Harry might not be a direct descendant of Godric, ha just might contain the essence of everthing that is Griffyndorish and therefore be the heir.
