Carol adds:
I think if we're going to ask JKR questions (theoretically), we might
receive more detailed answers from "how" or "why" questions rather
than "yes/no" questions (and she tends to avoid a clear "yes" or "no,"
anyway). maybe there aren't any good questions--other than the ones
Harry has already asked about Snape and the ones we're all asking
about Godric's Hollow--but I'll give it a shot (not limiting myself to
one since you two didn't). 

1) What really happened in the Prank, and what was the extent of
James's involvement?
2) What did Sirius intend to do when he ran after Peter and how
exactly did Peter blow off his finger, blow up the street, and leave
bloody robes on the ground all at the same time without calling
attention to himself?
3) When did Snape begin teaching at Hogwarts (beginning of term or
after Godric's Hollow)? Where was he and what was he doing that night?
4) How did the Daily Prophet (and the WW in general) know that
Voldemort had lost his powers but was not dead?
5) Why did the Lestranges and Barty Jr. go after the Longbottoms? Why
would they (the Longbottoms) be likely to know what had happened to
Voldemort?
6) Where was Neville when his parents were Crucio'd into insanity?

Okay, I'd better stop now, but there's a lot I want to know.

And, yes, I know JKR wouldn't answer those questions, or at least not
most of them, in an interview or a chat, but I sure hope she answers
them in HPB.

Carol, who likes moonmyst's third question and thinks it might
actually stand a chance of being answered outside the books
