Good questions from the good sister.  I think JKR sort of addressed 
them at an interview.  Someone less senile than I will probably 
remember better, but didnt JKR say specifically that

(1) Happy people do not become ghosts; and
(2) James and Lily ARE not ghosts.

Of course, I could be making that up, if so, just lock me back in my 
cage.
