Scott:
> When I read the bit about Godric's Hollow, I thought of an area 
like Hogsmeade. Can anyone cite the canon for the reference? The HP 
Lexicon says it's a Muggle Village where Lilly and James had a 
cottage (apparently "blown up" by Voldy). So I doubt there's anything 
left of it.

Me:
PS (page 14 "The Boy Who Lived") McGonagall speaking - 

"What they're /saying/," she pressed on, "is that last night 
Voldemort turned up in Godric's Hollow. He went to find the Potters. 
The rumour is that Lily and James Potter are -  are -that they're  -
 /dead/".

I have mentioned this reference in a previous post when I referred to 
the fact that JKR, somewhere in an interview, commented something 
along the lines that she had asked her literary editor had she 
thought about the connection between the Hogwarts house Harry is in 
and his parent's home. I had wondered whether Book 5 would reveal 
that HP is a descendant of GG; there's still time!
