Actually, having just reread the bits in PoA where Harry was hearing 
his parents' voices in his head because of the dementors, I have to 
say that this scene contradicts canon.  Why is Lily putting Harry in 
his crib?  James tells her to take him and run.  Lily just walks out 
of the room and is killed?  She's supposed to plead with Voldemort 
to kill her instead of Harry.  I'm starting to get the impression 
that the movies are going to depart from the books a great deal.  I 
mean, stuff she's said in interviews (like James' Quidditch 
position) is different; as far as I'm concerned, until she puts it 
in a book, it's not canon.  But this directly contradicts the only 
canonical information we have about what happened on October 31, 
1981.  And you say JKR wrote this scene?
