There has been some debate as to whether Godric's Hollow refers to a 
house or a village in response Kneasy's email. I was re-
reading 'Quidditch through the ages' this afternoon (as you do), and 
found I think, a definitive answer to this question. On p.14, it 
says 'The invention of the Golden Snitch is credited to the wizard 
Bowman Wright of Godric's Hollow.' It goes on to describe him as a 
skilled metal charmer etc etc. The way this story is presented 
appears to me to indicate that Godric's Hollow is a village, and it 
seems, a very appropriate one for James & Lily to have lived at, as 
it has important historic connotations for the game of Quidditch.
