---------------I don't think James HAD to die any more than Lily 
did. As I recall, he stationed himself outside to give Lily a chance 
to run with Harry. At that point, V would have simply killed him 
just to get him out of the way, same as he did with Lily. We don't 
know for sure that he didn't tell James to get out of the way also, 
when they were out of Harry's range of hearing. My feeling is that 
he wouldn't move, was killed, and then V told Lily to get out of the 
way, which of course she didn't, and then she was killed. Neither 
James nor Lily were his primary target, but Voldemort certainly 
didn't have any compunctions about killing stray individuals!
