Ginger here,
Not sure I can answer the whole thing, but I had a thought after 
reading the other posts in this thread.

What if........
Peter lifted the charm on purpose.  Now, I don't know if he can 
actually do that.  That's part of the speculation.  We have all been 
wondering how so darn many people knew that something had happened 
and rushed to GH.  

I thought about it from LV's PoV, and realized that he intended for 
the evening to end with Dead!James, Dead!Harry, and SteppedAside!
Lily.  Maybe he told PP to lift the charm so he would be able to lure 
DD there with Live!Lily as a hostage.  He may have figured that if 
ProphecyBoy!Harry was dead that no one could defeat him, so he would 
be free to take on DD, but had Lily as a hostage as backup.

Just a thought that entered my head and got lonely, so decided to 
seek the company of the keen minds on this site.

Anyone want to take this and run with it?  

Ginger, off to vote despite there not being a single Libertarian 
running in this state.  Tuh.
