Or something along the lines of Bierce's "Incident at Owl Creek 
Bridge".  In that story, a man is being lynched.  He begins to fall, 
but the rope breaks.  He runs away and has some adventures.  At the 
end of the story, it turns out that the rope didn't really break, and 
that he imagines the escape in the moments before he dies.  So the 
infant Harry could have imagined his entire life in the time between 
when Voldemort points his wand at him, and the time the curse hits him.

Highly unlikely, of course.  Very highly unlikely.  But it's not as 
big a cliche as the dream idea.
