ME: I've wondered about that myself. If there was indeed a fifth 
person that night at Godric Hollow, my bet is that was either Snape 
or Remus Lupin. If your theory regarding Snape being there is true, I 
would guess that Snape had gone over to Dumbledore's side and was 
spying for him long before Voldemort's downfall. Snape's going to 
defend the Potters would be the last in a list of actions that would 
lead Dumbledore to trust Snape implicitly, enough so that he let him 
have a job as not only a teacher, but the head of an entire House at 
Hogwarts. We all know that Dumbledore is very trusting, but I doubt 
that even he would put a former Death Eater in a position to 
influence so many young minds unless said Death Eater had performed 
some extraordinary actions to proove his loyalty and integrity. I 
think Snape going to defend the Potters against Voldemort when such 
an action could well have cost him his life would qualify as the 
reason Dumbledore trusts Snape to the extent that he does. I could be 
way off however. I can't decide :-)
