Yes! Yes! I love this theory! I had mentioned it earlier, in Post #79711:

"Is it possible that it was not Voldemort's failed curse that caused
the destruction of the Potter home? Could Harry himself have done this?
It's possible that Harry is far more powerful than we (or Voldemort)
have realized (what was it the prophecy says? a power he knows
not?)... We find that just a bit of annoyance at Dudley (without any
training or even the knowledge that he is a wizard), is enough to
enable Harry to remove the snake's glass and make Dudley fall through."

We still don't know what happened at Godric Hollow, and I'd bet
anything that JKR is keeping us in suspense for good reason. Whatever
happened there must be a whopper, and I'd say it's a good bet that
it's not what we've been led to believe. I'm thinking that
superwizard!Harry is as good a guess as any!

And here's an interesting exchange: in what is perhaps a bit of JKR
sneaky-clue-placing, Petunia and Harry have this conversation in SS
(Chapter 2):

"You could just leave me here, Harry put in hopefully....
Aunt Petunia looked as though she'd just swallowed a lemon.
"And come back and find the house in ruins?" she snarled.
"I won't blow up the house," said Harry...
