Voldemort knows that SOMEONE is prophesied to destroy the stars and be the end of the world. Harry is presently the best candidate by a large margin.

I want to upvote this more than once. If you haven’t posted to fanfiction.net, then post this (with ‘Harry says:’ in front of it, I guess) before it’s too late. People have come up with some good arguments as to why LV ought to let HPJEV live, but this one is the best.
