bboyminn:

My appologies for not including this in my previous post.

One thing we need to keep in mind is that the story as we
hear it in the books has had more than a decade of
refinement. I suspect on the night in question, and over
the next few weeks, there were hundreds of stories about
what might have happened. Perhaps most had a grain of 
truth, but certainly they all had more than their share of
unfounded speculation and even shear fantasy.

But over time, the story of the events of that night 
gradually fall into place until most people are telling 
the story as we hear it, now, more than a decade later.

This is important because, and especially amoung the
general public, we don't know that they really knew 
what happened. Yes, they knew something happened and 
it appeared to them that it meant Voldemort had some
how been defeated. Though in the moment, I'm sure that
was more of a fond hope than true knowledge. 

I just think it is important for us to remember that the
story we hear after a more that a decade of refinement is
not necessarly that story as known by the general 
population in the moment.

Just passing it along.
