A timeline question

 Oke doke.  I'm not exactly sure that this belongs on this list and 
if it doesn't please do not shoot me I am new to this list.  I was 
just looking through the lexicon sight and came across a timeline of 
October 31, 1981.  

>From the Lexicon sight timeline:

~The woman  runs away with Harry but Voldemort catches up with her. 
He tells her to step aside, but she insists on shielding Harry. The 
woman was almost certainly Lily Potter.  

~Voldemort attempts to kill Harry Potter, but the spell backfires and 
the Dark Lord is hit. He is barely alive and his body is gone. He 
flees. 

~Someone uses Voldemort's wand to kill first Lily, then James Potter. 
We do not know how soon after Voldemort's defeat this occurred. (It 
is possible that this attack was carried out by Wormtail or by Barty 
Crouch Jr., two Death Eaters who were most devoted and could very 
well have accompanied Voldemort on a mission of this importance.)  


It seems to me that this could not be possible.  Lily and James could 
not have been killed by some one else.  Voldemort says that he killed 
them himself.    "His mother died in the attempt to save him -- and 
unwittingly provided him with a protection . . ." GoF33    He also 
taunts Harry about his father saying that he died begging him for 
mercy or something of that sort, i can't find the quote.

One question that is brought up multiple times on that timeline is 
what happened to the curse that failed?  Why didn't an echo of that 
spell come out of Voldemort's wand too.  The answer could be that 
simply because the curse failed it has no echo.  Kind of like it was 
erased or something of that sort.  Also maybe a flash of light or 
some kind of other something indicating that spell DID come out but 
Harry (and us since we are seeing through his eyes) did not see it 
because he was watching the smoky figures prowl around them.

Ok so if you all wanna yell at me for putting this here i'm sorry if 
it doesn't go.  But i just wanted someone elses opinion on that too.
