Not half-baked at all. I like it.  I'm willing to consider the Floo 
Network though the two way mirror is better. Even better than 
Portraits. Further to this--what if the man that Harry hears yelling 
to Lily to take Harry and run--wasn't James but someone that James / 
Lily was talking to through one of these methods. (or even in the 
Portrait although Portraits seem to take orders rather than give 
them.) 

Lupin reacts so strangely (PoA) when Harry mentions that he thinks 
he  heard his father in the Dementor flashback that I doubt the man 
Harry hears is James. So what if that unknown man was, in 
effect, "on the phone" with Godric Hollow when the attack occurs. It 
would be consistent with some contemporary murder mysteries. (I 
can't think of one now.)

Harry doesn't recognize DD's voice in the Howler that DD sent to 
Petunia. So it's not a given that Harry would recognize the voice 
that yells to Lily even if Harry knew that Man's voice already. He 
only assumes the voice is his father's. Could have been any Man's, 
including Lupin's. And some of the mystery of how it was known that 
Godric Hollow was under attack unravels...
