5th Person at Godric's Hollow

I have never thought that there could have been someone else than the Potters and Voldemort that night at Godric's Hollow, except for a potential Peter Pettigrew in his rat form (he was the secret keeper after all, but he is way too cowardly to show his betrayal to James and Lily).  I really don't like the theory I'm going to hand over, but it came to my mind as I was reading Peggy's post. 

We have seen this done already and the idea of repeating a trick is not a nice one to me, but it hit me while reading these lines: "Someone told Lily to take Harry and run--it was a voice that Harry thinks could have been his father's.  This may just be because *he wants it to be his father's voice*." (emphasis mine)  

"Harry wanted to believe that the Patronus that came from across the 
lake (P of A) was his father protecting him and his friends.  He saw 
who he thought was his father---*it was actually himself*." (emphasis mine again).

"Harry desperately wants to have his parents by his side, and his mind 
knows this (the "reflection" in the mirror (PS/SS)." What if the voice Harry hears in the presence of the boggart/dementor is his own voice? What if Harry comes back to that night in order to help his parents and gets killed by Lord Voldemort while gaining some time for Lily and baby Harry? He knows where the Potters were hiding, the Fidelius Charm was already broken, he has used a Time Turner before... it makes awful sense...

As I said before, I don't like this theory but couldn't keep it to myself.So what if the mere presence of his future self in that tragic night has the power to prevent his past self from being killed? Nasty theory though...
