We know that Avada Kedavra is not the only curse that can kill 
wizards.  Otherwise, Peter Pettigrew's faked death would never 
have been believed.  Sirius wasn't accused of AK'ing Peter; he 
was accused of blowing up the whole street to kill Peter.  We 
also know that the Potters' house was wrecked, quite possibly by 
the same sort of curse. Avada Kedavra doesn't blow up the 
target's surroundings or  wound them, a la Peter's finger.  If AK 
was really the only way to kill wizards, as has been suggested, 
no one would have believed Peter dead.  Is this just a Flint, a 
remnant of an earlier time when JKR hadn't hammered out the 
specifics of Avada Kedavra yet?"

Me: 
The point is easily overlooked, but Harry's most distinct memory of his 
parents in the begning was the green light. Unless your exploding curpse 
produced a gree light, then Harry wouldnt have remembered it.

Which brings me to something I was thinking about last night. Why would 
Godric's Hollow be destroyed. A)Avada Kedavra simply kills them, kinda light 
a hydrogen bomb, but doesn't destroy anything in the process. B)If he had 
blown up the house it would have come out of the wand during Prioro Incantem.

Perhaps, it wasn't destroyed. The house might still be intact. Maybe he will 
inherit the house, he should have the inherited the house. If Sirius gets 
cleared he can go live with him there. Or perhaps, in their Wizard Will, the 
Potters left Sirius Godrics Hollow, which is the house he speaks of to Harry 
that they can go and live at.
