An interesting hypothesis.  I have often wondered just how "word got 
out" as well and this would explain it.  The only problem I have with 
the Godric's Hollow event is, although we do not really get any 
insight from the book, in the film9PS/SS), there was someone standing 
just behind Voldemort as he curses Lily.  I know usually the scripts 
are not considered canon, however, JKR did have a say-so in the 
filming of this scene and I do not believe there is anything in the 
scene that would not support canon.  I think the scene, as it appears 
in PS/SS movie does provide clue.  I just wish I could figure them 
out.  Voldemort is shown approaching the house alone, but then when 
in the room with Lily, as he is cursing her, there is someone 
standing just behind his right shoulder.  Then I think of Lupin's 
remark in PoA.  He said "you heard James?" (paraphrasing) to Harry 
during the patronus lesson.  Why?  He didn't question Harry's hearing 
Lily's scream.  Does he know something about James yet to be told?

Lynnette, who thinks Snape IS a good guy, even if he is NOT a nice
guy!
