>>>I maintain that what happened at Godric's Hollow was that the spell cast by Voldemort bounced off Harry as he was protected by his mother's sacrifice and that spell then hit Voldemort. It split Voldemort's soul and killed the bit of his soul within his body simultaneously. The bit of his soul that had been ripped off was what wandered off to the woods to later be discovered by Pettigrew. As it was not trapped within a horcrux, it was free to move, think, behave in the manner that Voldemort did. 

In the grand scheme of these books, what does this mean? The diary, the ring, possibly the locket (if it were destroyed by the mysterious RAB and if it were in fact a horcrux) and the bit that Voldemort killed himself have been obliviated. And of course, that there is no potential that Harry himself or his scar contain a bit of Voldemort's soul in a horcrux. 

I'm in the camp that Peter Pettigrew was there at Godric's Hollow,(who else could have given Voldemort his wand again?) and Peter blew up the Potter's residence, possibly to hide evidence and create confusion. My theory on Harry's scar is weak, even to me, but I contend that it was where Voldemort's very powerful spell cracked through and touched him.

--Ronin's Comments--
I think you've done a great job on this post. It's quite intriguing.
Godric's Hollow, in my opinion, will play a very large role in the outcome of DH. In fact, I wonder if it isn't Godric's Hollow which is referred to by the title Deathly Hallows. It is a place where tragic deaths have occurred, obviously. But also, it is a place which takes it's name from one of the Hallowed founders of Hogwarts.
So, why was it named so? What significance does this place hold in relation to Godric Gryffindor?
The place has a meaning and a connection with both Harry and Lord Voldemort.
I wonder if a horcrux wasn't created there, accidentally, when Harry survived the AK. Perhaps, it was created using the last bit of Lord Voldemort's soul and that is why he was destroyed. Pettigrew,  witnessing everything from hiding, tried to erase any evidence and retrieving The Dark Lord's wand, covered the accidental horcrux as well. But somebody was coming and he didn't have time to kill Harry. (Or was afraid to try since Lord Voldemort was destroyed in his own failed attempt)
This may be the greatest advantage Harry has over Lord Voldemort. With some research, Harry may deduce that there is some relic of Godric Gryffindor's at Godric's Hollow which may be a horcrux. And it's something that Lord Voldemort is unaware of. If all of the other horcruxes are destroyed, the final showdown could take place at Godric's Hollow where Harry will finally discover the accidental and final horcrux and destroy Lord Voldemort once and for all.
Keeping in mind that this theory is somewhat off the cuff, I think it may be plausible and with some adjustments based on canon, could explain a lot. The confirmed and refuted rumors and comments on JKR's web site seem to back aspects of this theory up. She does mention Godric's Hollow being a key and gives someone recognition for finding the relation of Godric's Hollow to Godric Gryffindor.
So, if anyone has any input on this I'd enjoy the discussion.
Some people are still holding to the time-turner theory, but I don't particularly support the time-turner school of thought. Despite however well the rest of the theory is thought out, time turners were destroyed in the DoM. I also hope that the finale does not turn out to involve time-turners, since I thought it was really a cop-out in PoA to begin with. It's always bothered me that if Harry had died, he'd have never been around to go back in time later on. Somebody would've had to intervene anyway. Otherwise, anyone could simply return from the dead later on by using a time-turner.
Anyway, welcome Deborah. I am also quite new to the group and find it a terrific place to discuss Harry Potter.

Cheers,
Ronin
