I think it has to be some kind of mental link with LV. Whether it is 
a direct communication between HP and LV, I don't know. Or perhaps 
Harry finally gets a glimpse of what happened at Godric's Hollow 
through LV. This would certainly seem to work as an opening to both 
PS/SS or OOTP. In PS/SS, we could have started with grown up Harry 
having some kind of nightmare about his parents directly from LV's 
head. This ties in to LV getting stronger with the help of Quirrel.
In OOTP, LV is reborn and the book focuses heavily on the increasing 
link between Harry and LV - so why not start with a Godric's Hollow 
flashback.
