I had a dream last night that teenage Harry begins to remember what 
happened at Godric's Hollow, and realizes that he is the one that is 
telling Lily to run.  (Yes, it's the Back-to-the-Future type movie 
scenario.)

Here my point --

Harry realizes that he was there (as a child and as an 18 year old).
He goes back but cannot save Lily from death. (Snape is also there 
but he is one of the bad guys.) Eighteen year old Harry is killed 
there--because he saves Snape's life.  Snape owes Harry. Because 
Harry looks like James, people assume that it is him in the rubble.  
Snape carries Harry away and somehow puts a stopper on his death.  

vmonte - Remember I said it was a dream. Don't attack me for not 
stating cannon evidence.

Jospehine now:

Dream or not I actually really like this idea! It would be a twist on 
the whole idea we have of what really happened at Godric's Hollow...

Time travel has appeared once, why not again!? JKR does like to be 
clever and complex with her stories, and I am expecting the time 
turners seen in the MOM to reappear.

... hmmm interesting.
