Time manipulation need have nothing to do with it.  Tom Riddle Jr. (ie.
Voldemort) is perfectly aged to be the father of James, at least.  However,
he would have to have been conceived in the late 40's, before Voldy
underwent all his changes.  Plus Voldy couldn't have known about James, or
he'd have taunted Harry with it before now.
