My thought is that the opening chapter of Book Six would show us the events at Godric's Hollow (i.e. the death of the Potters), perhaps leading to Harry coming to terms with the fact that he's the one in the prophecy.  JKR does mention that several of the early drafts of the opening chapter of PS/SS showed this event, and since the opening chapter to Book Six is very similar to one of the discarded chapters from PS/SS it seems to fit.

I agree with this idea for chapter 2 but chapter 1 is going to have "Dudley the magical".  My question is how is the whole thing going to be presented?  As a dream?  A memory?  An explaination from one of the OotP?  From DD?  An accident?  A diary?

I like the idea that HP goes back to Privet Dr.  He has an argument with Vernon and runs out to seek our Mrs Figg.  While he is gone, LV shows up at the house looking for HP.  While LV is torturing Dudley, his powers come out but is not enough to hold of LV.  Harry walks in and saves Dudders and then the Order, called by Mrs. Figg, comes to save the day and wisk all off to GP.  That is where HP finds a diary?? document??  overheard conversation??  about GH.
