Valky:
I admit to being all but convinced of it myself. I am held back only
by the fact that noone actually knowing it, not Dumbledore and not
Voldemort, is barely conceivable.

I have taken a walk in this direction. and written some thoughts on it
which I haven't posted yet. It still supposes that horcrux magic was
flying around Godrics Hollow that night, but Harry doesn't necessarily
end up with a piece of Voldies soul. 

What happens instead is that Voldmeort falls victim to a curse he put
on his own body, to make it unkillable. The scar therfore is where
Harry gets touched by that curse which is in line with what Hagrid
told him in PS/SS, and Dumbledore too was a victim of this curse which
would explain the lightning shaped crack in the ring. 

The greatest detail I can, at this time, think to put on the events of
Godrics Hollow, is that when he killed Lily, in his haste to get to
Harry, he failed to be aware of all the magic that he had previously
put into effect. Lily's magic, her sacrifice somehow penetrated his
magical shield. He could have known that this had happened except that
he was ignorant of the power of her Loving Sacrifice and he carried on
unheeded throwing his curse at Harry. Through his ignorance of the
Love magic he failed to notice that his curse intended to protect him
from being killed by the hand of another, was effectively mirrored
back at him. The Scar itself is the sign on Harrys innocent head
showing not that he survived Voldemorts Avada Kedavra, but that he
survived *killing* Voldemort, something even less possible than
surviving Voldemort trying to kill you. 

I know this is going to need a lot more work. I can't quite decide
what Harry is exactly other than the one with the power to vanquish
the Dark Lord (which is really all that this says so far). I do think,
however, that the curse itself is embedded in the prophecy words *for*
neither can live while the other survives. 

Can anyone actually see that or was my illustration too vague?
