Dumbledore says that Voldemort felt a connection with Harry, because they are both half-bloods, not like with pure-blood Neville.

I keep forgetting that Harry is also a half blood as both of his parents are Wizards it just confuses me.

But it was either Potter or Longbottom and Potter must have been percieved by Voldermort as being the most threat. Therefore he must have had the idea that if he was to kill the baby Potter while he was still an infant it should be an easy task since the baby wasn't old enough to defend himself.

But what I don't get is....

That if both Potter and Longbottom were in consideration of being the wizard in the prophecy to destroy Voldermort, why didn't he just go and kill them both? Or maybe it was just his bad luck that he went straight for Potter first.
