Pippin:

Voldemort would know that Harry had survived, so trying to conceal
this fact from the WW would have little benefit. But Dumbledore would
consider it of great benefit for people to know that Voldemort's
downfall was not a Dark Wizard of greater power but an innocent babe.
Of course some people were not convinced and thought Harry must have
had some kind of dark power.
