James wearing glasses isn't just movie contamination. In PS, (p153 UK 
version) when Harry is looking at his parents in the mirror of erised 
it says about James:

"The tall, thin, black-haired man standing next to her put his arm 
around her. He wore glasses, and his hair was very untidy. It stuck 
up at the back, just like Harry's did."

So you could be right :)
