Any man would do that! Snape would have done that! That's 
protecting "your own". You don't have to shed arrogance and bravado 
to be "the type" that will try to save your own flesh and blood from 
being murdered in front of you. The question is, would James have 
tried to save...oh...say Severus' son if the situation had been 
reversed?

We don't know who said, "Lily it's him..etc." *I suspect* James was 
already dead by then.

It'll be interesting to find out just who tried to save what.


not to mention having the guts to join the OotP in what

Psssst. Snape did that too... on the quiet, but he did it....
