===========================================================
Is it that no one could know what the man was dreaming because he 
died without regaining consciousness, and therefore couldn't tell 
anyone?
And are you saying that no one could know know what exactly happened 
at Godric's Hollow because James and Lily are dead, Voldemort 
(assuming he actually knows what happened) never told anyone and 
Harry was too young to grasp it (though not too young to remember, 
as the Patronus lessons show)?

=============
Great work, Renee!
If noone else was at Godric's Hollow to witness the alleged events
that occurred there (in particular Lily's sacrifice which is so
vitally important to the plot), then JKR violated the Omnipotent
Observer rule of writing (i.e. a story must be verifiable in order
to have validity.) 
JKR has been very careful not to violate this rule -- note the
dream about Quirrel's Turban, Slytherin, and Malfoy that Harry had
at the end of Chapter Seven - The Sorting Hat in SS. Jo notes that
Harry  "woke, sweating and shaking." at which point he seemed to
have recalled the dream. But then, "He rolled over and fell asleep
again, and when he woke next day, he didn't remember the dream at all."
If she had left out the part where Harry woke up and then went back
to sleep, a reader might have some doubt as to whether the dream
happened since it never reached Harry's conscious mind. The "woke
up, sweating and shaking" part tells us that Harry did experience 
the dream, even though he couldn't recall it later. 


SO........... what does all this tell me ?

SOMEONE ELSE was at Godric's Hollow at the time Harry's parents
were murdered.

As for who ....
