It would seem like the easiest fix for the whole situation.  Harry's 
parent's would still be alive, Hagrid wouldn't have been framed, and 
expelled.  Cedric wouldn't have been Killed.  Neville's parent's 
would still be sane.  Sirius would still be alive....well I think 
I've made my point.  <snip>

I think that, if possible, your solution would solve all of their 
problems (though it is unknown what others it might create), the only 
persons I believe who would be willing to go to such lengths (i.e. 
kill a defenseless baby/child) would be those of the nature of 
Voldemort and his followers.  I just can't see any of the "good" guys 
stooping to such measures.  While Voldemort was certainly willing to 
kill Harry while an infant (that backfired, didn't it?), I just can't 
see Dumbledore or any of the others aligned with him ever doing 
anything of the like.  Fight an adult who can defend him/herself, 
yes, but not go after an innocent child.
