just a thought...
I was reading a HP fic tonight, and I couldn't help wondering: If the Potters knew they were being hunted by Voldemort because he wanted to kill Harry, then why the hell didn't they just stage a fake-death and spread the word that Lily miscarried, the baby was born dead, etc. Or if Dumbledore was really all about the greater good, he could like steal an orphan child, magic him up into a Harry-clone, then offer him up to Voldemort to kill. Easy.
That would be kind of a twisted story though, huh? The Harry Potter that took out Voldemort the first time and is the perceived savior of the Wizarding World isn't really Harry Potter at all. He's actually Joey Smith, orphan boy. But because he took out Voldemort, Dumbledore couldn't allow the real Harry and family to make a reappearance. So to cover things up, Lily, James and the real Harry had to be "gotten rid of."
