If this is all the daydreamings of Harry, how do you explain Chapter 
one of Book one?  This kid is imagining all this back story with 
details that become important later?  All this intricate detail that 
fits smoothly together is just an abused child's fantasy life?

I am sorry, but I can't accept that.  That is unless you are prepared 
to tell me that he keeps daydreaming and daydreaming and daydreaming 
the same scenario over and over and over again until he gets it right 
and all the details worked out.

I'm sorry.  The theory is interesting, but not very plausible IMO.
