The official story seems completely inferred.

Lily and James are dead. Harry has a scar. There is a burnt husk of something nearby.

In fact, not even so much. What the world sees are Dumbledore producing the dead bodies of Lily and James, a scarred Harry, and a burnt husk of something.

One point against a Dumbledore conspiracy theory - how would he know that Voldemort wouldn't show up a week later and blow his story?
