Where could the story possibly go in your worst case?
Now that I think about it, I wouldn't mind seeing a story about a middle-aged person who was kicked out of their Chosen One situation twenty years ago, but now the politics have shifted and they have to deal with magic and intrigue again. However, this would not remotely be HPMOR.
Harry somehow figures out what really happened and breaks the Masquerade wide open on his own? (No police record of the hit and run, for example?) You're right, though, it is a story-killer, so it's not going to happen quite that way, but anything less comprehensive would be a much easier lie to catch.
I'd give a pretty to see a story about the Masquerade getting busted open, but I don't think it fits in HPMOR.
The masquerade is starting to come apart in Harry Potter and the Natural Twenty but that part of the story is still in its infancy.
