No, I used to think that too, but in Book 1 and in Book 4, Voldemort
says that he killed James first. In S/P's S, it's on page 294: "Yes,
boy, your parents were brave...I killed your father first, and he put
up a courageous fight". In GoF, I can't remember where it says it. But
my idea is that Voldy at least thinks he killed James first, but because
he used a different spell, he didn't actually die first.
