I always thought that James was an Auror for some reason.  I know it 
was never stated anywhere, and as far as I know JKR has never said 
what James and Lily did, we only know that they were in the Order.  
But for some reason, I picture him as an Auror.  He always hated the 
dark arts.  I suppose he could have been the DADA teacher as well. 
Also, we dont' know what Sirius did either, before the murders and 
his sentence in Azkaban.  My guess...he was an Auror too.  They were 
both exceptional with magical abilities...the best at Hogwarts when 
they were students.  And Aurors have to be expectional.  So, that's 
my guess :-)

Tracie...who likes the idea of Harry becoming an Auror too and 
taking after Dad (I know, sentimental...that's me tho )
