Good grief!  Let me say, after watching the movie at least 45 times, and currently feeling very stupid, because I never noticed that hand.  Well, I take that back. I've noticed it, I just thought it belonged to Voldemort. Now I see that can't be, as it's the left hand and turning away from Lily.  Or rather it couldn't be Voldemort unless he'd gotten past James unnoticed and then was turning to kill him before turning back to Lily and Harry.  However, I don't see how Voldemort would have made it past James without being seen and just be turning back to fight him.  Unless he had stupefied him or something first and he recovered quicker than he expected.  Which doesn't seem likely.  

So if the person isn't Voldemort, I don't think it could be James.  For one thing the person is definitely wearing robes, and I don't see why James would be in robes while Lily's not.  Snape is a possibility, though.  A definite possibility.
