We actually don't know if it was Harry's father (the attack of 
Harry's POV once again): Harry JUMPS to the conclussion that it must 
be his fathers voice, but there is no way he can know whether it is 
or not, since he hasn't listened that voice before, so technically, 
it could be Wormtail's. Another consideration on that particular 
scene is Lupin's amazement at the fact (maybe he knew something we 
don't, like James' body found outside the house, which would be 
difficult to understand?). The weak point is that Harry doesn't 
recognize Wormtail's voice afterwards, but Harry's pretty stressed 
at that point, so it could be understandable.

Anyway, let me express again the fact that it is only an example of 
how either of Harry's parents could have died BEFORE the rebounded 
spell. I know the example has holes. I only want to know whether you 
see holes around my AK-shadow theory.  (Although I'll continue to 
defend my example as long as plausible excuses present themselves 
against criticism).
