I don't know. I admit, I was assuming that Dumbledore knew that James and Lily were dead, regardless of whether he had been to Godric's Hollow personally.
For that matter, the bodies might have been removed fairly soon after the attack, whether by wizards or by Muggles. Certainly *Harry* was removed right away, according to Hagrid. Dumbledore might have seen the bodies without having been to Godric's Hollow. And as you say, he might also have heard from someone who had either been to the scene, or who had seen the bodies later, who hadn't been to the scene him- or herself.
