1. What happened to Voldemort's body in Godrics Hollow?  If his dead
body was found in the ruins, then why did people think he disappeared?

If his body was not there - on what basis did everyone in wizarding
world guess that something happened to him and started celebrating?
Voldemort is very secretive about his whereabouts even to his
followers- so what made people guess so early that he is not powerful
anymore?
  
Geoff:
There is an interesting series of comments which Hagrid makes to Harry
in PS which might give food for thought:
 
'(Harry) - "But what happened to Vol - sorry - I mean, You-Know-Who?"
"Good question, Harry. Disappeared. Vanished. Same night he tried ter 
kill you. Makes yeh even more famous. That's the biggest myst'ry,
see... he was gettin' more an' more powerful - why'd he go? Some say
he died......

...Most of us reckon he's still out there somewhere but lost his
powers. Too weak to carry on...."'
(PS "The Keeper of the Keys" pp.46-47 UK edition)

The implication being that there was no body at Godric's Hollow. The 
other presumptions probably followed because Voldemort's activity just 
ceased - abruptly and inexplicably.

Janelle: I've been looking for a reference to something else that
Hagrid says to Harry about what happened after his parents were
killed, but I can't remember when he says it or if this is movie
contamination, but somewhere before Harry learns about the
unforgivable curses Hagrid tells him that people came out of "trances"
(and now that I write it I feel like it could have even been Sirius or
Mr. Weasley that had this conversation with Harry).  I took this to
mean that people who had been under the imperius curse had come out of
it, which could have been used as evidence that Voldemort's power had
gone - leading to the early celebrations.
