Didn't DD state that what happened at GH was the greatest REGRET of 
Snape's life. If Snape regrets what happened at GH, it can only be 
because he had a chance to prevent it i.e. he knew it was going to 
happen. 

It could be that Snape was with LV when the unsigned note arrived by 
owl from PP. LV may have invited SS along (bearing in mind SS hatred 
of James). Having seen the note SS can now find the Potter's but 
still does not know PP is SK. 

After the GH incident is finished, SS informs DD. Surely DD must have 
visited GH at this point. He is not so detached, that he would not 
come to see what had happened. He then needs to arrange further 
protection for Harry, but needs someone to physically collect Harry. 
It can't be Snape for obvious reasons. James' circle of friends seems 
to have been corrupted. DD decides on Hagrid. Gives Snape the 
invisibility cloak and asks him to watch over Harry until Hagrid 
arrives (I've never believed that DD would leave Harry sitting in a 
pile of rubble).

Another problem concerns LV's AK from within GH. Firstly why would an 
AK rebound? Lily's protection has been described previously as a 
powerful countercurse. But a countercurse would block the AK. It 
would not rebound it. Secondly, if the AK did rebound and hit LV, 
surely it would 'kill' LV, but do no damage to the house. Is it 
possible that SS was there? And for those of us that believe that SS 
loved Lily, is it possible that SS, enraged at Lily's death, could 
have fired his own AK at LV?

And finally, how does a baby survive a house that been blown to 
pieces? Is it because the house is destroyed after the fact?
