Carolyn:
Worth remembering something she says on her website about the 
earliest versions of Chapter 1 of PS/SS:

'[I had] the Potters living on a remote island, Hermione's family 
living on the mainland, her father spotting something that resembles 
an explosion out at sea and sailing out in a storm to find their 
bodies in the ruins of their house.'

She says she subsequently re-located the Potters to Godric's Hollow, 
for plot reasons, but then goes on to say:

'I have come close to using a chapter very like this in PS, POA, OOP, 
but here [ie Book 6] finally, it works...when you read it, just know 
that it's been about thirteen years in the brewing.'

It seems to me that the idea of an explosion on an island out at sea 
could very well become an explosion at Azkaban.
