Very good theory! The only snag is, I think, Gryffindor's sword. I don't think it was out of the hat before Harry pulled it out. I could be wrong, though...
"It's a nice thought to imagine Harry and Ron playing for just one day before Harry is left on the Durley's doorstep." It is a nice thought, but I think there's a little more to it than that. JK Rowling usually answers questions that aren't part of a larger theory, or don't have components that will spoil parts of future books. If it were just a matter of a trip to the burrow, I think she would have admitted to it by now. She's usually pretty aware of what her fans are debating.
"Why didn't Lily fight Voldemort? Why didn't she pull her wand and tried to hex him a thousand times?I think she didn't fight mostly because she was shocked at having her husband killed in front of her eyes only seconds before. I also think she was more worried about protecting Harry than about hexing Voldemort. She knew about the prophecy, and therefore knew she couldn't seriously harm Voldemort; that only Harry & Neville could. I also think she knew about the "old magic" that ended up protecting Harry, and that hexing

All good questions and theories. I'd make a better comment on them if I were more awake. Yay 7am.
