Why was Voldemort so obsessed with killing Harry Potter?

What was Voldemort’s obsession with Harry?

For the rest of his life, Voldemort was obsessed with regaining his power and destroying Harry Potter, the supposed chosen one who ended his reign by sheer luck.

Why couldn’t Voldemort kill Harry the second time?

Voldemort was not able to kill Harry because Harry was the true master of the Elder Wand. And this is all Voldemort’s own doing. When he was rebuilding his body during Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, he used Harry’s blood to do so. Therefore, he took some of Lily’s protection into himself.

Voldemort killed him with a quick killing curse. Lily Potter was born as Lily Evans to muggle parents.
