I can help here.  My US hardback version is a bit earlier.  In that 
scene Harry's father comes out first, with his father telling him to 
hold on because his mother wants to see him.  In subsequent versions 
the order has been reversed so Lily comes out first and tells Harry 
to hang on for his father.
