I just realized that on the night Voldemort failed to kill Harry as a baby, there would have been three dead bodies in the Potters’s house in Godric’s Hollow. James’s, Lily’s and Voldemort’s. It never occurred to me before that Voldemort’s body would have had to be there too. But remember, he was ’ripped from his body’. The Voldemort who fled from Godric’s Hollow didn’t have a body, so the only logical conclusion is that it was left behind where he was defeated. Plus, his body being there would have been the only way other wizards could have understood that Voldemort had been defeated – proof to them that he was really gone (turns out he wasn’t really gone but they didn’t know that at the time).
It is rather scary to think of Sirius finding Lily’s dead body with Voldemort’s next to it and Harry still alive in the crib.

Not to break the depressing mood or anything but I do hope Sirius had the clarity of mind to give Voldy’s body a good kick in the face

Maybe Sirius kicked his nose off
