I also have a fairly new US copy and it has the same 'error'.  I read 
somewhere (I thought it was in the HP Lexicon, but I can't seem to 
find it right now), that the Lily/James order was 'corrected' and 
then 're-corrected' in later editions so that James does come out 
first.  JKR supposedly said that James did die first, but the order 
in the book is correct.  The author of this article theorized that 
maybe something about Harry, e.g. his desire to see his father, 
caused the wand order to be reversed.  

Did anyone else read this?  If so, do you remember where the 
information was?  I know I'm just not making this up....I hope.
