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.

There's one problem with this theory, though I find it a fascinating theory,
... but how would Snape have found them?  They are under the fidelius charm.
If he had indeed found them, then it seems James would have known Peter
spilled the beans.  Not that the knowledge would have changed anything,
because there wasn't time for James to tell.  I know we've been over the
whole, how-could-Dumbledore-know ... about the happenings at GH, but it
stretches my mind a bit to think Snape could have known where the potters
were.
