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.[/b][/quote]
I find this very hard to believe. That no one in the history of the magical world had ever chosen to save someone else from the Avada Kadavara when they could have saved themselves.

She also said there is more to it.
