Oh for pete's sake...read the whole page. Particularly that 
introductory paragraph:

     NOTE: According to JKR (Diane Rehm show, 
     10/20/99), "Voldemort killed James and Lily, 
     then tried to kill Harry." This is clearly what 
     she intends. It is not, however, what it actually 
     says in the books. This page discusses what the 
     actual text states and what that would mean. 
     Clearly, JKR doesn't intend this to be the way 
     the story goes. But this IS the way it's written. 
     Also, yes, I am well aware of the fact that JKR 
     has confirmed many months ago in an email that 
     "Lily came out first." I, like many fans, don't 
     like the messy way this mistake was "fixed," but 
     that mystery is clearly solved. Many questions 
     remain, however... 

There IS no "theory" to lay to rest.
