>>I am DESPERATE to see such a scene, Saraquel.  Before JKR stated what 
she stated**, I know we had arguments here that:  1) Harry wouldn't 
have seen anything because he was lying in his cot/crib; and 2) any 
memory he did have would be quite incomplete or just sensory 
information because he was so young. 


CathyD now:
Unfortunately, though, JKR also said: "Harry didn't see his parents die. He was in his cot at the time (he was just over a year old) and, as I say in 'Philosopher's Stone', all he saw was a flash of green light." (In response to a question about why Harry didn't se the Thestrals at the end of GOF.)  I think he's going to have to attain that memory from the other person who *was* at Goderic's Hollow that night.  Snape possibly?
