What if it's as simple as Voldemort not wanting James
and Lily to turn around and have another kid to fulfil
the prophecy, after he'd removed Harry from the
equation?

Let's see... the prophecy says "the one" is
"approaching, born as the seventh month dies."
Granted, it's implied, but technically, it doesn't
actually say it had to be that same year... and aren't
prophecies traditionally fulfilled in unexpected, but
technically literal, ways?

In this scenario, once James had died, there would be
no need for Lily to follow suit. Had Lily died first,
the same could be said for James.

Just a thought that's been floating in my brain for
the last couple of books, but I thought would be
disproved in Book 5. =)
