2 different versions of page 667 in "Goblet"

Page 667 in "Goblet" describes the emanations coming out of 
Voldemort's wand.  In my version of the book James Potter comes out 
before Lily Potter, indicating that Lily was killed before James 13 
years earlier.  That always struck me as odd, because I believed 
James got killed trying to hold off V., then Lily got killed 
protecting Harry and bestowing the spell on Harry that would protect 
him from V. (which I would love to see explained more precisely, by 
the way).  I raised this cunundrum at another message board and was 
told that two versions of page 667 exist, and in the other version 
Lily comes out of the wand first, then James, i.e. Lily died after 
James.  I checked it out and, although it took some searching, I 
found a copy of "Goblet" with the revised page 667!  I believe the 
revised version must be the authoritative version Rowling insisted on 
rewriting and reprinting when she noticed the logical error of the 
version where James emanates out of the wand first.  I was allowed by 
the book store manager to exchange my book.  But he was very 
surprised to see two different versions of the page 667 printed.  
This is highly unusual, and must have been done rather secretively by 
Rowling and Scholastic(who haven't returned my phonecalls).  The book 
store manager raised the specter of a recall, which I doubt 
Scholastic would want, but then why would they agree to a revised 
printing of the book, when millions of copies of the faulty page 667 
have already been sold.  I think it would have been wiser for 
Rowling, when she noticed the error, to decide just to live with it 
and figure out how to stage the death of Harry's parents in a future 
book (as a flashback perhaps) in a way that conforms to the odd order 
of deaths she had erroneously first indicated.  But now she has 
rewritten page 667, and now two versions of a short but important 
moment (for people who take their Harry Potter seriuously at least) 
exist.  If one is authoratative, would anyone not want to own that 
book copy rather than the other one? I'd be really curious what 
others, particularly what Rowling and Scholastic have to say about 
this.
