Hmmmm....Marcus, you bring up a very interesting subject.  I had not 
thought about what we knew in relation to each other, only 
seperately.  We know that the MOM has some kind of contact with 
Muggle government officials (I can't remember where I read it, but I 
know it's in GOF), so is it possible that James and Lily worked as 
some sort of liason to the Muggle government, in hopes of helping 
unite the wizarding world with the muggle world, or perhaps get the 
Muggles help in bringing down LV?  Just a thought.
