Possibly you're thinking of Godric's Hollow, where James and Lily were
(unsuccessfully) hiding from Voldemort. That seems to be yet another
indication of James's connection to Gryffindor. (Why James and not
Lily? Because Lily is muggle-born.) I have absolutely no doubt that
JKR expects her readers to make the connection for themselves.

Another (minor) point: If a reader asks JKR "What position did James
Potter play for the Gryffindor quidditch team?" she's not going to
say, "He was the Gryffindor chaser" or "the position he played for
Gryffindor was chaser." "He was a chaser" supplies all the needed
information. The rest is supplied in the question. She probably
regarded it as a straightforward question like the one about Lily's
maiden name.
