The Boy-Who-Won't-Stay-Dead
The wards on the rental house that James and Lily Potter were living at in Godric's Hollow were very strong. The were close to a Ley Line for the wards to draw magic from and Godric's Hollow has had wizards and witches living there for centuries further increasing the amounts of ambient magic. But with Lord Voldemort after you the Potters wanted even more protection, so the large Rune Stones that provided the power sump for the wards was augmented by Blood Wards binding the magical cores of all 3 Potters into the wards. Then on top of this they were hidden by a Fidelis Charm.
They should have been very safe, and the were until Halloween when their secret keeper brought the Dark Lord to the house and opened the front door for him. James Potter met his end in the living room when he rushed the evil bastard, James's magic was bound into the wards, so using magic to fight was useless, and so he was cut down by a green bolt of death only half across the room.
Lily Potter met her end in the nursery standing between her son and the vile abomination after the toddler's life when she wouldn't stand aside.
Harry Potter lived a while longer as Voldemort made preparations for making another horcrux. This one was going to be made from Griffendor's Signet Ring that he had just take from James Potter's hand.
However the Dark Lord had a problem, his soul had already been fractured four times making horcruxes and was getting a little thin and ragged. So in his research into other soul magics he discovered that a Soul Bond also anchored the soul to this plane of existence until all the other partners are ready to pass over into final death. Often this caused a widow or widower to be haunted by the soul of their spouse until they died, or even ghost couples, as one can not pass over without the other.
But Voldemort wasn't counting on finding that perfect match and making a Soul Bond. No, he was going to force the bond by stripping a soul of it's protections and using legilimency to rape and imprint the soul to make the connection. Then killing his Soul Mate and forcing their soul into a horcrux, instead of a fragment of his own soul.
So Voldemort mentally tortured and raped Harry's soul over his mother's dead body and then cast the Killing Curse on the boy, ready to put the soul into the signet ring.
Which was a big mistake, for Voldemort had bypassed the powerful wards on the house, rather than breaking them down, thinking correctly that breaking a set of wards of that power would take a team of Curse-Breakers a few hours and give the Potter's plenty of time to escape. But the wards had a trap built into them with the Blood Wards.
Thus when Harry Potter, the last surviving Potter bound into the Blood Wards died all the wards on the house targeted his killer and went into a cascading failure, dumping all the power stored in the Rune Stones into Tom Riddle's body causing him to spontainiusly combust, blowing out the roof over that part of the house as the ward failure kept going until à Harry Potter drew another breath and started to cry as the magics prepared to bind his soul into a horcrux and make the horcrux nigh indestructible and self repairing were applied to his body.
The cascading failure of the wards stopped as the Potter child lived again, and the Flame Freezing protections kicked in just in time to stop the fire from spreading from the ceiling into the nursery.
Peter Petegrew, coward that he was, ran away after hearing his master screaming in pain and then going silent as the roof exploded outwards. The sound of a large motorcycle coming from overhead had nothing to do with it really, his job was just to open the door for his master only, he wasn't there as his back up or anything like that. That had been made clear in front of the other Death Eaters, this was a solo mission for the Dark Lord, Peter was just the door opener. Yep, he was in the clear so he'd be fine if he showed up without Lord Voldemort, right?
Not! Peter couldn't even fool himself on this issue, if he was found by any of the Inner Circle they would turn him over to that crazy bint Bellatrix to find out what had happened to their Lord. Nope, it would be better to be caught by The Grim called Padfoot than go back to the Death Eaters.
Sirius Black had been worried about something happen on the All Hallow's Eve so he had gone to check up on Peter, after finding out the rat was not hiding out in this week's safe house like he had agreed upon, Sirius became seriously worried, and Sirius hated to be serious, seriously. And so the black sheep of the Black family, (or would he be the white sheep?) jumped on his big flying chopper when he felt his amulet crack.
Pulling the chain out from his shirt he saw that the charm that he had monitoring the wards at the Potter's hideout was broken, meaning that all the Potters were dead. So after screaming in rage and grief for the loss of his best friends James and Lily, and his godson Harry, he took off into the sky headed towards their house at full speed. Sirius had some serious wrathful smiting to do on a filthy rat.
When Sirius got to the house he saw that it was in ruins, with the roof blown out, windows broken outwards, and parts of the outer walls scorched from the wards failing. He was surprised the house itself wasn't burning. After parking his motorcycle, Sirius changed into Padfoot and started sniffing out a rat.
A giant of a man portkeyed into the yard after the big black dog was gone and went into the house and after a few minutes came out with a blanket wrapped baby while talking into a hand mirror and decided to steal the big flying chopper.

A stern looking tabby cat was watching an Auto-Addressing Quill writing on the student letters going out today and swiping the top letter off the stack into a mail bag when the quill was finished with the address. The cat didn't pay too much attention to the oddly very exact addresses that they needed because of their rather untalented mail owls, not like some mail owls that could track down the postal recipient with just the name and would show up when you had mail for them. When that stack of letter was finished the tabby pushed another stack of letters under the quill, this stack was all for one boy that they were having trouble getting to receive the letters. They were even using the Spammer charm on the letters so each letter became 100 when delivered, if not for the boy living with Muggles they would have already been sending Howlers.
When the quill finished the first letter of the new stack swiped the letter onto the table and looked at the address and let out a horrible caterwauling howl and jumped off the table turning into an old Scottish witch that snatched that letter and ran for the fireplace. Stopping only to grab some powder from the bowl and call out ôAuror Department Emergency Floo!ö before striding into the green fire and being swept away.
It was late afternoon and the dayshift Aurors were looking forward to going home when the emergency fireplace flared and a witch that they all recognized as Professor McGonagall stormed into the ready room in such a mood that it scared every last one of them, and then she took charge.
ôI need a tracking and rescue team, an emergency medi-witch team, Madam Bones, and Mad-Eye Moody as fast as you can get them here!ö McGonagall rasped at the highest ranking Auror in view as strode towards him slapping a green envelope into his hand.

Auror Dawlish looked at the address and swore ôQueen Mab's frozen heart!ö turning to the other Aurors he commanded ôStebbins get Madam Bones! Jones, Cross, and Marshal get Mad-Eye! Jenson use the floo and get a Seer from the list to drop everything and Get Them Here Now! Rawling grab someone from the portkey office! Rook get Orion from the owlery! Dwight start calling in the night shift. Ross grab that scrying bowl and come here.ö he finished heading over to the wall map.

I'm using the type of blood wards mentioned in DerLaCriox's Rocking the Boat, and the soul bond from my own Type O- Soul. There will be some additions to the blood wards such as slow regeneration that works as preservation on dead bodies, and resusitation of an ensouled healthy corpse.
Don't worry about Harry to much, he's just taking a dirt nap, this will be just one of many times the Dursleys kill Harry.
