Of course I watch tv.
Only Harry's body wasn't there for investigators to give clue or 
evidence to the fact that Lily died trying to protect him.
Besides, in PoA, Sirius states that when he arrived at the house it 
was a mess (still havent got the english book-version so not sure 
about the accuracy of the words here) - had there been an explosion 
of some kind? That might have left the bodies in somewhat different 
positions than when killed.

I also wonder - where are the graves of James and Lily? Nobody ever 
took Harry to visit their graves....
