I've probably missed a bit of this discussion, I've been away, but 
let me tell you what I read on the Bloomsbury Publishing Website. The 
original printing of Goblet of Fire contained a "Back to Front" 
error. That is, the last victims of Voldemort came out in the wrong 
order. Once the error was noticed it was corrected and reprinted. I 
have seen two version -  one that I have at school and my own 
personal copy. They are different. In my copy, Harry's parents come 
out in the correct order with Harry's mum coming out before James (As 
would happen if she were killed after him) and she says to 
Harry "Hang On Harry, your fathers coming....he wants to see you"
