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.
