Tanya now

I really like this idea too, it would of added extra fuel for Snape,
that's for sure.

However, I have a query.  Hagrid says in PS/SS that Hogwarts was one
of the only safe places back then.  If Lily and James were teaching,
in October with the fidelus charm being set when they lived at Godrics
Hollow.  Wouldn't it have made more sense for them to be living within
Hogwarts if teaching at that time?
