I have been posting the unpopular theory that the Potters were in 
possession of the P/S stone at the time of their demise. If, as 
suggested in recent threads, Snape was there to warn the Potters it 
would make perfect sense that he would have collected the stone and 
taken it to Dumbledore. This would have prevented the deatheaters 
from getting a hold of the stone and would have demonstrated to 
Dumbledore that Snape was no longer on Voldemorts side' which is why 
Dumbledore believes Snape. I think after the Potters rejected Snapes 
warning he must have hid nearby to see what happened. Either before 
or after Hagrid collected Harry' Snape would have snuck in and 
retrieved the stone.

Interesting. Personally I am almost sure that Snape tried to warn 
James, but I don't know whether  it happened at Godric Hollow.

I think that his warning was specifically not to trust Sirius, but 
it is just speculation of course.

I am entirely willing to assume that Snape was at Godric Hollow, 
although now I tend to lean more to the speculation that Harry 
himself went to Godric Hollow and failed to save his parents.

Are you saying that Snape's first meeting with Dumbledore after him 
serving Voldie was when Snape gave the Stone back to Dumbledore?

Wouldn't it contradict Dumbledore's assertion that Snape deflected 
prior to Voldemort's fall, or have I read your theory incorrectly 
and you are saying that Snape was already on Dumbledore's side when 
he gave him stone back?

Luckdragon: 

I think Snape learning of Voldemorts plans to go after the Potters may have been a turning point for Snape. It is possible he approached Dumbledore previous to the attack, but his attempt to warn the Potters and returning the stone after the attack would have sealed the deal to Dumbledore. Are you aware of any canon which I may have missed to support Snape having turned prior to the Godric's Hollow incident. If Snape had left the Voldemort before the Potters deaths Voldemort would have known and been more specific when the deatheaters minus Snape were reunited in GOF.
