Saitaina asked:
"How did James's cloak come to be in Albus's possession?"

"My speculation cells are tired.  I'll just say I've wondered about 
this also, and wonder if it will prove to be a part of the 
explanation of what happened near the end of James and Lily's lives.  
It seems like something James would have wanted when he knew 
Voldemort was after them, but I also wonder whether V has a way to 
see through them."

--It certainly leads us to believe that James didn't exactly have a 
good outlook on the future, eh? It just doesn't make sense that he 
would give away his cherished (and valuable) possesions if he was 
about to go into hiding and therefore be safe. He had no reason to 
think that Voldemort would find him. 

IMO there's more to this than meets the eye, and like Amy, I think it 
has a lot to do with what James and Lily were doing around the end of 
their lives. Obviously that situation would explain why things like 
the invisibility cloak were being given away for safe keeping. As to 
when that information will be disclosed...
