Maybe James was protecting Harry while in the not-quite-dead  
stage somehow.  Then he could have been finished off in the curse  
that was directed at Harry, explaining why he emerged from V's  
wand out of the anticipated order.  The energy it took to send  
James to the quite-dead stage somehow altered V's spell and 
when combined with Lilly's protection led to the rebound onto V.  It  
also wiped out the house at the same time.    

OK, those are reaches, but will work for me until HP5 arrives.
