Kemper now:
Okay, I got a suggestion/scenario.

Harry and Lily had Harry Christened when Harry was swaddling sized.
Sirius' comes up with a great plan, use a Time Turner to move
/forward/ fourteen or fifteen moons.  Sirius plays dumb with everyone,
especially that ever so evil, moon lovin' Lupin.  Sirius meets up with
Potters at Godric's Hollow after the 14/15 months of real time.   The
hopes of throwing Voldemort off his dark game doesn't work.  Even
though James and Lily can Time Turner forward again, they know that
realize that it is better to live life than run from it.  They are
Gryffindors.  Sirius missed them and has a better idea: perform the
Fidelius Charm using Peter as the SK.

The rest is history.  Of course this would make Harry younger than he
is in canon, but he is small for his age, right?
