Linda:
First let me apologize as this thread hasn't been touched in a
couple of days but I plan on taking it in an entirely new direction
so please bear with me.
Second,let me say that IMHO, the fifth person at Godric's Hollow was
Peter Petigrew.(whom for the purposes of the rest of this post will
be refered to as P). My main reason for this belief is that from
what we know of LV, he is not a trusting soul and would have brought
PP with him until his information was prooved to be correct. (Just
in case he needed to kill P for lying to him.)

Me again(Linda):
Now on to the crazy theory...Da-da-da-da-da-da-da(drum roll please!)
A lot of opinions have been given, either for or against, as to
whether Snape was in love with Lily. Personally I am in the camp
against and I'd like to take that a step further.
I propose that P was in love with Lily during his school days. I
doubt that anyone else knew about this, indeed I doubt if he ever
said it aloud-even to himself. I think of it as the kind of crush a
twelve year old boy harbors for his sixteen year old brother's
girlfriend, considered an impossible goal to obtain and based in
fantasy. IMO, it WAS hit father's voice that Harry heard in the
demontor induced memory of the fateful night that LV came to
Godric's Hollow.(Am I being too melodramatic?) Here are the event as
I see them:
V and P arrive at Godric's Hollow together.
James tells Lily to take Harry and run.
V kills James.
V proceeds to follow Lily and in the process moves toward Harry.
This is where the theory once again comes into play.
P follows V, sobbing and begging his lord to spare his love.
(Pplease master...spare her...it's the baby you want... I gave you
what you desired...you promised me reward if I did as you asked...)
V gives in to the point that he actually asks Lily to step aside.
When Lily refuses, V kills her.
V attempts to kill Harry and AK backfires on him.
P takes V's wand and flees in terror of the other DEs.
(As to how V got out of there and out of the country, I'm not
sure. Perhaps he was in a noncorporeal form and was able to travel
via the very air currants.)
As to what happened next, we have cannon for that(regardless of
the issues of the timeline of that night). For that reason,I won't
go into that here as it has a whole thread of it's own.
So fire away with your critiques and arguments. I humbly await
your opinions.
