I for one am still holding out for the theory that Lily was originally in Slytherin and resorted through some way that we haven't yet encountered.  Okay, I'm stretching it, but that's my business, right?

Well, it could be possible that James played more than one position. Suppose he started as a chaser, because that was the only open position on the team.  Then if the seeker completed his/her seventh year, the seeker position then opened up, maybe he moved over to that.  Or vice versa.
