Kvapost now:
Yes, yes, sorry for not being clear. Actually, I was interested in
both issues:
1) How did the WW find out about the massacre? This was explained
by others but still leaves me surprised about just how quickly
everyone started celebrating LV's "death" out in the open, the very
next day after long years of total terror and being so afraid of LV.
How come they shed all their fears and went berserk dancing in the
streets and shooting fireworks. Poor king of the world Voldy has
been working for years and years on keeping everyone properly
oppressed, and as soon as he winked, everyone has instantly buried
him virtually, even his DE's.
Compare this with how slowly WW came back to believing LV was back.

2) Who confirmed actual evaporation of LV. In PS/SS
Hagrid (upon his 1st meeting with the teenage Harry) only mentions
that LV disappeared and some people reckon he's dead but he, Hagrid,
suspects Voldie's not human enough to die, and that he must be in
hiding, biding his time. So, Hagrid shows in this conversation that
he's not aware of all the circumstances but at the same time he
_does_ state that yes, it was a faulty AK curse and oh, what a
miracle.
How on earth does anyone know that?

Kvapost now:
Exactly my questions. DD must have indeed had some kind of
wizarding "webcam" at Potters' house. But why would he? What exactly
was the Potters all important mission?

Kvapost now:
IMO, no way JKR would neglect such important issues in her very 1st
book of the series. After all, she did plan the whole storyline of 7
books and subplots from the very start.
