I don't know if this makes sense, because it has been a while 
since I read the 6th book and I'm in the middle of the 5th right 
now... But (and please correct me if I'm wrong) didn't Voldy split 
his soul into seven peices and one of them was his body? And when 
he attempted to kill Harry it killed off the one of the peices 
being his physical body, because it rebounded to that?
   
I don't even know if I worded that right... it is 1:30am, lol.

I have another thought on this, contradicting my earlier one... 
they might have known Voldy was gone because apparently the 
Potters house was in ruin and finding James and Lily dead, but 
not Harry -knowing how cold blooded Voldy is- I think they would 
have realized that Voldy didn't let Harry live out of the goodness 
of his heart (figuratively speaking). They must have come to the 
conclusion that Voldy hit his downfall, and I'm sure there were 
other clues leading to that, that we don't know yet.
