ok. so: assuming Harry’s memory of the night his parents died is correct, what if the crucial difference is that, instead of shrugging Lilly off, Voldemort accepted her bargain...making it a two-person ritual rather than just a one-person ritual...which meant that not only was Harry protected against Voldemort, now the latter had to actively guard Harry’s life.
If a mere exchange of promises were sufficient to constitute a magically binding ritual, there would be no need for Unbreakable Oaths.
They aren’t. but someone else once showed that all the elements were present, except for the usual incantations to set it up. In this view, it’s more like an accidentally created ritual.
