That would make sense because Frank and Alice Longbottom were 
tourtured for the whereabouts of LV shortly after LV "died" (i use 
the word loosely). Somebody must have seen Frank alert Dumbledore, 
maybe Peter, or another deatheater nearby. In the movie, we don't see 
James die, only Lily. This sequence was written especially for the 
movie by Jk herself. Maybe the voice Harry hears in PoA is Frank 
telling lily to run. James might have already been dead, and Frank 
attacked LV, but LV just knocked Frank out or something. I like the 
way you think. I believe this is the first original thought I have 
read.
