I truly believe that James, Lilly, Harry and Voldemort were not the 
only person that tragic October 31st. Of course this ideas are not 
entirely new, and I'm sorry if this was discussed before

If there was a 5th person at Godric's Hollow, who could be? This 
person had an active role in what happened or was hidden? 

Bill:

I have always thought that other people were present that night.  For 
one, I believe that Peter Pettigrew would have had to physically 
guide Voldemort to the Potter residence.  This is also suggested by 
Sirius finding him missing that night, and immediately knowing that 
he had betrayed them.

As for other people, well, I get the impression that Death Eaters 
work in teams of several people.  Four people were convicted in the 
torture of the Longbottoms.  I would not be surprised if, say, Lucius 
Malfoy was also present - he just seems the type, and is also in 
Voldemort's inner circle.  As for a fourth Death Eater, how about 
Snape?  I suspect that he was the spy who warned Dumbledore about 
Voldemort's plans to attack the Potters, and so, as one of the few 
people who knew beforehand what was intended, he would be a logical 
choice to participate in the Potters' murder.
