This was an error. It has been fixed in newer versions of GoF, having James 
come out *after* Lily like he's supposed to. I believe there are pictures of 
the original text and fixed text in the files section.

And, my inner-perfectionist must point this out, Lily Potter's name is only 
spelled with one 'L'. Sorry, habit! :-D
