Joe asked:
I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts about what
James and Lily's occupations were.

Me <Vinnia>:
I was reading the Snape's worst memory when I had an
interesting thought. Some hundred posts ago, it was
mentioned that there's a similarity between what James
did, and the DE's muggle torture in GoF. 

Could it be.... James Potter was a death eater? Maybe
Dumbledore asked him to be a DE, to get information
for the order? Think about it, before Snape changed
side, there must be someone in LV fold to inform the
order of what he's up to. 

Harry is very good at throwing imperius curse. Snape
says that this is related to occlumency. So Harry
could have inherited this ability from James, James
was probably a superb occlumens.

Probably James was given a task to kill Dumbledore or
someone and he failed. He escaped LV's death penalty.
He then left the DE, and managed to stay alive. That's
defying LV twice. Then, of course, he married Lily the
muggle-born. No wonder LV killed James!

The period between James leaving the DE and Snape
turning good was the time when LV killed the order's
one by one. The order didnot have any spy to
forewarned them.

That's also why nobody in the order tells HArry about
James. They know that James was not really a DE, but
still, it would be hard on Harry.

What do you think?
