now me (sarcasticmuppet):
This might shed a new light on this theory:  In OotP, sometime when 
Sirius is discussing the family tree (don't have a copy with me, 
sorry) he says that he ran away and stayed with the Potters when he 
was fifteen or so.  He also says something along the lines of "Even 
after I graduated, The Potters always welcomed me over for Sunday 
Lunch."  Could someone with canon confirm or correct me on that?  At 
least one of James's parents was still alive when the marauders 
graduated.  I could be wrong, but I think this tidbit is important to 
any theorized timelines of before Voldemort's fall.
