Okay, since everyone seems to have mistaken my intent, I'll re-post my 
(original) theory which I wanted discussed:

Originally posted by me:
"Every explanation I've seen in the order of the Potters deaths seems 
to be based in the fact that they both had to die AFTER Harry, since 
there is no prior incantatem effect on the rebounded spell. However, 
this isn't necessary at all, since there is one type of spells that 
have no "shadow": spells that, for one reason or another, lack to have 
their expected ends. Thus, no shadow of the imperious curses that don't 
work on Harry, and no shadow appears of the rebounded AK spell.
 
Also, there is a second possible explanation I can think of: The AK  
prior-incantatem shadow liberates an image of the soul that was taken 
by the AK spell. However, the rebounded AK spell takes no soul: not 
Harry's, who's protected by his mother's love-spell, and not 
Voldemort's, who's too evil by that point to have a soul (as explained 
in one of the books). So, the shadow of that particular spell cannot be 
shown, since there was no soul taken/destroyed."

To put it simply (so I'll avoid further criticism to meaningless 
examples), and according to JKR correction:

Voldemort arrives to the Potter's house. Faces James and kills him. 
Faces Lily and kills her, but she manages a last spell: Harry's 
protetion. Voldie tries AK on Harry and is destroyed (more or less).

I believe that this would be a perfect secuence of events (logical, 
too). Comments?
