Hmmm.  That would, indeed, answer a lot of questions and solve some 
of the mystery about Godric's Hollow.  The thing is, Voldy himself 
really was introduced in Book 1, which seems to me would mean that 2 
parts of Voldy's soul were introduced in that book.  But maybe the 
actual hormchuck is something IN Godric's Hollow that is still 
there.  We do know, after all, that Harry is headed there in Book 7. 
Hmmm.  Anyway, I like it, Constance.

Maybe we should start a betting pool.

Godric's Hollow itself. First of all, I think this is the name of a 
structure as well as the place where the structure resided. This is 
definitely an artifact of a founder (whose personal artifact hasn't 
been positively identified yet). It is (was) hidden in plain sight. 
In Voldy's mind, it is indestructable. Oops.

into an Orcnuts using Harry, with James' death as a backup. He laid 
whatever magical groundwork is necessary to do this so that the 
horcrux was half-created. But he never expected the ancient magic 
charm laid by Lily. We've seen that distruction of a horcrux is 
catestrophic - the diary bleeds. The ring is broken. We have never 
been told why a failed AK would destroy a house. Perhaps it was the 
catastrophic backflow from a broken horcrux? Destruction of the ring 
disfigures Dumbledore. Perhaps destruction of the house is what 
disfigured Harry with his scar?
