3. Hagrid pulled Harry out of the rubble of  Godric's Hollow. From their 
discussion at the beginning of PS/SS it appears  that DD was not at 
Godric's hollow. Let's presume that DD would not have  left Harry to sit 
in a pile of rubble for any length of time. Therefore,  precisely how 
does DD know that Lily died to protect  Harry.

 


Julie:       
Snape told him. Because Snape was at Godric's Hollow when or  just
after Voldemort killed James and Lily. I don't know if Snape came  with
Voldemort, not knowing where they were going and why until it was 
too late...or maybe he followed Voldemort as far as he could, and 
when the Potters died and Voldemort was vaporized the Secret  was
lifted, allowing Snape to see/access the house. Then he notified 
Dumbledore via patronus or some other method, and Dumbledore
sent Hagrid to retrieve young Harry. 
 
There is no direct evidence for this, but we've had clues from JKR
that someone else was at Godric's Hollow, and Snape has been
involved up to his batty ears in ways we're still learning. So he  seems
a likely contender for the GH mystery guest. 
 
I like this theory, because I get the feeling there is still some 
connection between Snape and Harry yet to be revealed. And 
perhaps some reason why Hagrid has always been so adamant
about defending Snape, while Snape has never made a snarky
comment about Hagrid, despite Hagrid's general incompetence as
a teacher. A shared goal at Godric's Hollow might explain it...
 
Or I could be totally off base ;-)
