Were Voldemort and Harry Potter ever connected before he attacked Harry as an infant?

As it happens, Voldemort and Harry were only connected in Voldemort’s mind before he happened to attack Harry when he was only one. The apparent connection he had with Voldmort was the fact that Harry’s parents, James and Lily Potter had managed to succeed in defying the Dark Lord, Voldemort thrice. But what really connected Harry and Voldemort on a deeper level was the status of their blood.

Both were half blood wizards and hence, in Voldemort’s mind, Harry was more of a threat according to the prophecy made by Sybill Trelawny which interestingly, did not point at Harry. It could have been Neville Longbottom as well, as his parents had also defied Voldemort thrice. It was Voldemort’s fear and crass judgment that he chose Harry and marked him as his equal.

€œHe chose the boy he thought most likely to be a danger to him ... and notice this, Harry. He chose, not the pureblood (which according to his creed, is the only kind of wizard worth being or knowing), but the half-blood, like himself. He saw himself in you before he had ever seen you, and in marking you with that scar, he did not kill you, as he intended, but gave you powers, and a future, which have fitted you to escape him not once, but four times so far.

Trying to not give everything away, I will say this: the connection between Voldemort and Harry Potter came from a prophecy that was spoken to Dumbledore when he went to interview Professor Trelawney. She was pretty much a mess, but did have a little ability to see into the future. Now, the scar was made by Voldemort on Harry's head when he was a baby.

That is an initial connection. Because of that scar, Harry is not psychically connected to Voldemort, but he does not understand the impact this will have on his life or the degree of power and control he has already. He, Harry, is pretty stupid as far as putting things together, so he's lucky to have Hermione Granger there to think for him.

Before the attack, though, there was absolutely no connection between Harry and Voldemort. The connection was made when the scar was made. Thanks to Harry's mom, he did not die when attacked, but was scarred for life through the magic of a death curse that was thrown his way.

Now, I'm not going to spoil the end of the story for anyone, so I cannot go into the depth of the connection, suffice it to say there is one.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
