It's funny, this was one of the reasons I always found Harry Potter so overrated.
So Harry has super special invincibility from The Killing Curse because Lily sacrifices herself for him. This is described as "Ancient, Long Forgotten Magic"
Wouldn't literally any parent do this?
Why aren't they're dozens of boys/girls who lived?

It was only that Lily had a rare chance to flee and refused to take it that Harry was protected. (Assuming I haven't mixed up canonical Harry Potter with Methods of Rationality.)
