The other part of it is, why did it protect Harry at all? We are told that no one has ever survived the Havada Kadavara before, but surely there must have been times when someone chose to sacrifice themselves for someone else. Yet, this didn't give the protection to them, but it did for Harry.[/b]

Well, Rowling seems to put emphasis on the fact that Lily was given a choice. She accepted the fact that she was going to die fo her son...I don't think that anyone else had done this before. Avada Kedavra is not an everyday sort of curse. And surely Voldemort didn't give anyone else a choice to live or die...I'd say it's probable that none of the dark wizards before him did, either...

He kept his promise to Wormtail (the hand thing).
