Steve:"Now Godric's Hollow; one other possibility is that Godric's
Hollow is the equivalent of Diagon Alley in London. I suspect other
major cities in the UK also have small magical neighborhoods hidden
within them, the same way London has Diagon Alley. However, for the
moment, all we can do is speculate, but I think before the series is
over, we will get to visit Godric's Hollow, perhaps to visit the
graves of Harry's parents."

Thanks for this theory, which I hadn't considered. It's 100%
plausible, but yes, it is speculation.  I didn't think that there was
anything in Godric's Hollow for Harry anymore; but if there is a
magical neighborhood, there may be.

Where do wizards bury their dead? Could Lily and James be in Godric's
Hollow, or the War Veterans' Cemetery at Hogwarts, or in catacombs
underneath the castle?

One thing that gives credence to the magical neighborhood idea: If the
Potter's house was destroyed, how come Harry didn't end up in a Muggle
hospital/foster home? A magical neighborhood might explain it. For
example, if the Burrow caught fire, wouldn't the Muggle neighbors
notice, or is the Burrow unplottable? Actually, it can't be, since
Muggle taxi drivers found it in PoA. The point is that if the house at
Godric's Hollow was destroyed, why didn't it attract the attention of
the Muggle fire brigades?

Steve:"This could also be the new magical place that Harry will visit
in the next book. Although, most bets are on him visiting Azaban."

Me, too. There's a lot that could be going on at Azkaban that would
cause Harry to go there, including getting locked up there himself. We
will just have to see.
