Brooks,
   I also am heartened to know that someone had the same line of 
thought.  I was discussing this with a friend today and we came up 
with a further theory along these lines.  Assuming Snape was there, 
he could have picked up Voldemort's wand and killed James with it.  
Taking this one step further, maybe he kept the wand until PS/SS 
where it was retrieved by Quirrel/Voldy.  Granted, this doesn't 
explain Voldy's belief that he killed James first unless you consider 
the 'Polyjuice solution' or the 'Cruciatus or Imperius rather than AK 
Curse' solution.
   Sorry if this was also part of your previous post but this Priori 
Encantatum thing really has my curiosity on over-drive.
