Best Answer

Lord Voldemort wanted Harry Potter dead because of the following prophecy:

"The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches...Born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies...and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not...and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives...."

Prophecy made to Albus Dumbledore by Sybill Trelawney

Voldemort never heard the part that said he would mark him as an equal. He decided Harry was the one who would destroy him and so marked him as his equal.
