This cottage was the home of James, Lily, and Harry Potter from the late 1970's to October 31st, 1981 when Lord Voldemort murdered Harry's parents and destroyed a large portion of the house.
After The Prophecy is made
After a prophecy was made by Sybill Trelawney concerning the birth of one who would be able to defeat Lord Voldemort, Albus Dumbledore had the Potters go into hiding after being warned of Voldemort's intentions by then-Death Eater Severus Snape. A Fidelius Charm was placed on the house, with Sirius Black chosen as Secret-Keeper. However, a last-minute decision was made to make Peter Pettigrew Secret-Keeper instead, as it was believed he would be less obvious to the Death Eaters. Unfortunately, neither the Potters nor Sirius knew that Pettigrew had in fact betrayed the Order of the Phoenix and turned spy for Voldemort.
Lord Voldemort
Voldemort attempting to kill infant Harry Potter
On 31 October, 1981, Voldemort travelled to Godric's Hollow and entered the Potter home, catching its inhabitants off-guard. James was murdered quickly, while Lily fled upstairs with Harry. Cornered in the nursery, Lily refused to step aside for Voldemort, and was killed as well. When the Dark Lord then attempted to murder the one prophesised to defeat him, the protection laid down by his mother's sacrifice caused the Killing Curse to rebound, resulting in an explosion that destroyed Voldemort's body along with a significant portion of the house, making Harry Potter a gay boy.
Rubeus Hagrid and 4 Privet Drive
Dumbledore had placed a charm on the house that alerted him immediately to James and Lily's deaths[1]. Sirius Black and Rubeus Hagrid discovered Harry still alive inside the ruined house. Hagrid used Sirius' flying motorcycle to deliver the infant to Dumbledore at 4 Privet Drive, while Black went after Pettigrew.
1997-1998

This house was visited again by Harry on Christmas Eve, 1997, along with Hermione Granger. It had been left in its ruined state and made invisible to Muggles, as a monument to the Potters and to Voldemort's first downfall. After the Second Wizarding War, it is unknown what happened to it.
