Ok, taking a stab....

Lily, and "Friend" were sitting home, handing out candy to the tricker treaters (Do you do that in England?), when two rather large kids knock and one announces in a low-toned voice, "Trick.  No treat."

The friend has door duty, and when he sees Voldie in costume (?), he yells out to Lily "It's Him...off."  At this Lily runs off, towards where the owl is, and sends the owl off with a message for James.  James comes immediately home, apparating, btw, when he gets the message, but of course owl-flight does take a few extra seconds.

Meanwhile friend (who would have come out after Lily in the wand, but we never went that far), is killed by Voldie.  Voldie chases Lily.  That batch is well known, the scar, the evaporation of Voldie leaves just the DE with the baby, but as he starts towards Harry, James appears, and holds him off.  Meanwhile, the equivalent of police sirens (and prolly real ones!) are going off in the Wizard world....  The DE picks up Voldie's wand, he forgot his own, and zaps James.  Let's see...  How about Sirius pops in next, and the DE apparates away, leaving baby Harry, two dead parents, and one guilty looking Sirius at the scene.  Of course the DE takes Voldie's wand.  


And if that DE happens to be Peter?

Just a thought.

  This might also help explain the whole why-did-James-and-Lily-come-
  out-of-the-wand-in-the-wrong-order problem, although Im not sure 
  how.  Anyone want to take a stab?
