If Harry had been successfully killed in Godric's Hollow in 1981, would Dumbledore have found out that Voldemort had made Horcruxes?

1Found out how? Not sure what you're asking.– tobiasvlCommented May 2, 2017 at 8:45

1Considering that Harry dying would have meant Voldemort didn't die, he'd simply have continued his reign of terror on the Wizarding world and Trelawney would have been ousted as a phony prophecy-maker. Beyond that, this is an extremely broad "What if" questions that I'm not sure anyone would be able to answer.– DisturbedNeoCommented May 2, 2017 at 9:14

1I think this is answerable, I mean, if you have reference to "Horcruxes" he explains a lot of his sources of information, I think you can make an argument. For me personally (no offence to the OP) I'm not sure I'm in the mood just now, which is why I just left this question, but I'm sure there are plenty of people here who can do it. For: all the research Dumbledore was doing into Voldemort's past, Slughorn's memory, Voldemort's physical transformations. Against: heavy reliance on Harry's evidence (Riddle's diary, Voldemort's speech to his death eaters), needing harry 4 S.horn's memory etc.– Au101Commented May 2, 2017 at 18:37

1@AnthonyGrist Hehe well maybe I was just throwing out points that I would use in an answer to show why I think this should be re-opened. I admit for example it's basically impossible to decide whether or not Dumbledore would ever have seen riddle's diary if voldemort had gone on to even great heights after slaughtering the potters. who can say whether the diary would have been used and whether there would have been someone to get it to Dumbledore, or whether he would have got it himself. So there is a lot of speculation, but you can certainly form what i think is a decent answer– Au101Commented May 2, 2017 at 18:47

1Out of what we know about where Dumbledore's information came from, so I would reopen it– Au101Commented May 2, 2017 at 18:47
