Pippin:

Even to other DE's, who might be rather anxious, not to
say insistent, to know what had happened to their master?
You think Hagrid has the only loose lips in the WW?

Gimme a break!

Hickengruendler:

The ministry? I mean, surely the attack on Godric's Hollow didn't
pass by unnoticed. The muggle authorities will have found out, and
the MoM probably learned pretty soon, who the victims were.

Or maybe another wizard or witch was living was living in the village
(it was named after a wizard, after all, therefore it might not be
unreasonable to think, that more wizards are living their), and they
saw Voldemort arriving. Later they heard the explosion or maybe even
saw Vapormort flying away, and heard that the baby survived.
Obviously I'm just guessing. This doesn't explain how anyone could
have known about what exactly happened. But then, at least right now
we also don't know how Dumbledore could have known.


I am not talking about the fact of the attack here. The ministry 
would have found bodies and wreckage, but how could they learn about 
that rebounded AK? There had been no precedents. Even if the Aurors 
suspected that the scar was from some curse they wouldn't have known 
for sure and certainly the sheer speed the boy-who-lived story took 
root with makes the involvement of the ministry officials doubtful. 
The person who started the rumour *knew* what happened, told part of 
the story and left some important details out. 

As for anxious fellow death eaters it's possible that if the traitor 
was there he could share the information. But it wouldn't have been 
the same version that, say, Dedalus Diggle and other celebrating 
learned. Unless the said traitor was on Dumbledore's orders.
