In an earlier post today about the clues in CoS, I had a faulty link 
to an essay on my theory about Fawkes being Gryffindor's phoenix.

The correct link is:

My apologies.

Now me:

There's been some speculation that Bowman Wright, the metal-charmer 
who invented the Golden Snitch, is an ancestor of James Potter, and 
that James inherited his fortune from Wright's success (since 
in "Quidditch through the Ages" we're informed that Wright lived in 
Godric's Hollow, where the Potters were living when Voldemort 
attacked them).

As for James' occupation...since in the scene from the first Movie 
That Must Not Be Named that JKR approved, the Potters were living as 
Muggles, it suggests that he had some sort of Muggle occupation 
(rather than being an Auror, for example).
