Mandy here:
No, LV doesn't tell use anything about what actually happened at 
Godric's Hollow.  He tells us the mistakes he made in failing to kill 
Harry.  We still don't know exactly what happened, what the timeline 
of events were from when LV approached the house to the moment the 
house was destroyed.  

What we do know is James died, Lily died, Harry didn't die, LV almost 
died.  In the meanwhile Lily somehow managed to put some kind 
of 'protection' over her son before she died, LV then killed her, 
then he AK'd Harry it `rebounded' (what ever that means) and LV 
was `almost' killed, the house blew-up, and Harry, after surviving 
the AK, thanks to his mum, somehow managed to survive the destruction 
of an entire house only to be found in the rubble. 

There are so many questions it's ridiculous.  What spells did LV use 
to kill James and Lily?  What did Lily do to Harry?  What did the 
rebounded AK do to Harry, LV and the House?  Did the AK destroy the 
house?  Because AK's don't usually destroy the anything but the 
intended victim, certainly not entire houses.  So what exactly 
happened to the house?  And who and what destroyed it?  How did Harry 
survive that?  Was there a witness? Was LV alone or did he have back-
up?  If so who? What happened in the missing 24 hours? Etc. Etc. 
Etc.  It goes on and on.

I know JKR will answer it all by book 7 but in the mean time so many 
people are taking so much for granted without questioning the sparse 
evidence we have.  That's fine by me if it makes them happy, but I'm 
getting tired of having to explain to people that just because a 
character says something is so it doesn't mean it's gospel.  So LV 
admits to his Death Eaters he made a mistake, it doesn't tell us what 
actually happened.

Cheers Mandy.
