I was talking with my sister, and she said that in her copy of GoF that when Harry's and Voldermort's wands  are facing off, that James comes out of the wand before Lily. Now the Priori Incantatum spell works backwards, so that the most recent spell should come out first, Cedric was the first to appear, then the old man and Bertha. From what we know happened the night of the Potter's murder, James was killed before Lily, and so Lily should have come out of the wand first.  I don't have my copy of the books, (on loan and damn I wish I could get them back), but I am wondering if this has been changed in later copies?  My sister thought that it might have been fixed so that the order was right. Can anyone help me on this? Is this an editor issue or a Flint?

And by the way..where does the term Flint come in?  Is there a "flint" about Marcus Flint? (I am scratching my head and trying to remember if that is the name or I just made it up.)
