<<<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?>>>

There's been extensive discussion of this topic already on this group &
on hpanonymous. You might want to read through the archives to get a
sense of what people believe. I have a wild theory that Voldemort cursed
James first, but he died after Lily.

<<<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?>>>

Also discussed extensively. Snape likely was the spy who informed
Dumbledore that Voldemort was after the Potters (see PoA). Dumbledore
probably wants him to infiltrate the dark forces again.

I know there's no search engine on this Yahoo board -- a lamentable
deficiency. Good luck searching through old messages!
