Though I have to congratulate Sharana for her well-documented theory, 
I side with Silveroak's objection, and add one more: JKR has said in 
interviews that Lily and James are positively dead. I don't think 
that statement could be a red herring, as I don't recall her 
blatantly lying regarding what will happen in the books. If she's 
asked something crucial, she answers "I can't tell" or "you'll have 
to read the next book", she doesn't go "Harry will die in book 5" so 
then you'll be surprised when he doesn't. Well, at least we *hope* he 
doesn't, or book 6 will be called Ron Weasley and the Harry Potter 
Funeral. 
BTW, Where are you from, Sharana? Spanish is my mother tongue too 
(I'm from Argentina)

Cheers,
