Christina,
   Your right that it doesn't make much sense for James and Lilly to 
swith places.  But in post 1530 (I think) I proposed a scanario where 
James and Harry switched.  I admit it has holes and I'm not exactly a 
big proponent of it but I do think it explains things as well as 
anything that's been thought up so far.  Although the idea that Snape 
killed James with Voldy's wand after the attempt to kill Harry makes 
a certain amount of sense too.
