The one mystery I don’t have even a plausible story for is what really happened Halloween night in Godric’s Hollow. There have been multiple clues dropped that the canon story did not happen in this universe, and that what the characters (except Quirrel) think happened, didn’t. (“And somewhere in the back of his mind was a small, small note of confusion, a sense of something wrong about that story; and it should have been a part of Harry’s art to notice that tiny note, but he was distracted. For it is a sad rule that whenever you are most in need of your art as a rationalist, that is when you are most likely to forget it.”)
I suspect that Voldemort did not Avada Kadevra baby Harry, and he probably did not die that night either. I think Riddle/Quirrell/Monroe/whoever was simply done with the Voldemort supervillain persona, and therefore faked “Voldemort’s” death. However I have not yet been able to figure out what really did happen. I suspect the clues are there, but so far I haven’t been able to notice them or deduce the proper answer from them.
