Neri:
I agree with this scenario, except that I don't even see the need for
Molly or any other person to point Mr. (or Mrs.) Ecks to Harry. It
will only raise the question of how this information wasn't uncovered
before, and it's not like it's really needed. Harry may simply ask a
passing neighbor a few questions, or this neighbor might even start
the conversation him/herself, noticing that Harry looks just like the
man who used to live there sixteen years ago. And there seemed to be
muggle neighbors, because Hagrid said in SS/PS Ch. 1 that he got Harry
from the wrecked house "before the muggles started swarming around".
One of them could have noticed someone suspicious in the neighborhood,
or picked up some object form the rubble.

And in a related subject – I wonder what clue might Harry find at his
parents' graves?
