Thanks to the incomplete prophecy told to him by Severus Snape, he believed that Harry Potter was the only one who could destroy him. Thus he went to the Potters' house, killed Lily and James, and then attempted to kill Harry. You know what happens after that.

Who is opposed to the main character in Harry Potter?

Lord Voldemort. When Harry was a one year old, Lord Voldemort came to his house with a plan to kill him. Lord Voldemort accomplished killing Lilly and James, Harry's parents. But not Harry. When Voldemort tried to kill him with the killing curse, It did nothing but put that scar on his head, and a part of Voldemort's soul was now in that scar. That is why Voldemort was so weak, Because he gave his soul away without meaning too. And that made him a horcrux. A horcrux has parts of Voldemort's soul into it. And the only way Harry could kill him, is if he died as well.
