All the current theories are very interesting.

However a few points.  Firstly, today, I was scheming OC plots, very
OC plots and the memory of a phrase in COS came to mind for some
reason.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

COS chapter 4, pg 43.

Quote.....................

"You have told me this at least a dozen times already," said Mr.
Malfoy, with a quelling look at his son. "And I would remind you that
it is not - prudent - to appear less than fond of Harry Potter, not
when most of our kind regard him as the hero who made the Dark Lord
disappear - ah, Mr. Borgin."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What struck me is the last part of the sentence..............  not
when most of our kind regard him as the hero who made the Dark Lord
disappear.................

On the surface, it could easily mean that Lucius' intention was to say
that and mean something more like this.

................not when that he ruined everything and made our
master, the Dark Lord
disappear...............................................  Inserting
various threats and curses.

But what if it could be split further, and there is more to Godric's
Hollow than what is said here.  Even if it is seemingly reinforced
later.  I could easily imagine that Lucius would say that, it is true
that it is the common view.  But how much of it is direct fact.  Being
very close to LV, Lucius knows lots more than he lets on, but it could
be debated that only part of the sentence could be true, either by
desin on his part, or a fluke.

It is also good news about the next book coming out.  I have to admit,
I am a little nervous about reading them, but I will.  The reason for
that is it is prospectively going to get very nasty.  LV has lost
about 12-14 years, and now the baby he wanted killed is not such a
baby and far less helpless than he was back in Godric's Hollow.  That
being the fact, LV will likely want to 'win' before Harry actually
gets to maturity, and full power.  In other words, he's running out of
time.  He could easily choose to focus on getting to Harry by any
means possible, making that his main focus such as diary Tom did. 
That is rather than focusing on muggles and muggle borns.  They could
be ignored until such time as he actually won.  With that, if he met
Draco, and Draco sang (talked)  LV would have a whole shopping list of
names.
