That is truly an intruiging possibilty.  Were Lily and James aurors? 
It seems likely.  Didn't Hagrid list them as those who "stood up"  to 
the Dark Lord (PS/SS 55)?  How else does someone stand up to 
Voldemort besides being an auror? Hagrid also seems to think that 
Lily and James were very powerful, and likely candidates for being 
recruited by Voldemort if they hadn't been so loyal to Dumbledore.  
Of course, we will just have to wait and see, but not much longer 
now, as it is rumored we will find out about Lily's profession in 
OoP. I don't know if I can wait that long....
