1. I'm sure this has been brought up before but during the climactic
battle between Harry and Voldemort and their two wands meet and the
"ghosts" of Voldemort's victims emerged from the wand in reverse order,
Lily and James came out the wrong way. Didn't James die before Lily
(according to PoA)? Therefore Lily should've came out first. Is this a
mistake or a foreshadowing of a plot twist in future books?

2. Voldemort mentioned that one of the Death Eaters has left him forever
and that he will be killed. He is likely referring to Snape who admitted
being once a Death Eater. Will he be killed in the next book? What was
the "task" Dumbledore sent Snape to do?
