It is generally assumed that it is Kevin Potter who is the chosen one and Lily and James Potter are deeply troubled by the imminent danger. Unwittingly Harry is ignored and neglected by his parents and uncles. Feeling alone and unhappy, his only happiness is Moony, who realizes what is happening to him. Then one night Voldemort arrives and just before Lily dies he tells her it was Harry not Kevin he wants. The last thing Lily said to Harry was to look after his brother and he is determined to do this, to win his mother’s love. Harry, carrying his baby brother runs away, trying to escape. Yet he drops Kevin and as he turns around he is hit by the killing curse, sent by Voldemort. Harry and Kevin are sent to live with Uncle Vernon, where Harry is constantly beaten and abused. They live in the hope that ‘Moony’ will come and save them. Kevin is still thought of as the chosen one according to the scar, which is actually a burn obtained when Harry dropped him, on his chest and Harry as the brother of the chosen one.
