Casey wrote (regarding Harry being at GH):

If this all took place, then where is James?

vmonte responds:

Hi Casey. I have no canon to support any of my wild theories 
(sometimes I get on a roll--sorry). My idea is that perhaps James was 
already dead, and was killed a few minutes/hours before the attack at 
GH. 

This suspicion came from my first reading of the PoA book (the scene 
where Harry tells Lupin about hearing his father). JKR even makes a 
point of writing in that scene that Harry had never heard his 
father's voice before. And Lupin reacts to Harry's comment by saying 
something like: 'You heard James?' I found Lupin's reaction a bit 
suspicious--but that's just me. 

I read a while ago that JKR was responsible for writing the flashback 
scene in the SS movie. In that scene she makes sure to only show 
Lily, not James.  I also noticed that the male voice Harry hears 
yelling at Lily to run during the dementor attack in the PoA book was 
not in the PoA movie. In the movie Harry only hears his mother 
scream. I wonder if this change was made because the voice Harry is 
assuming to be of his father is really someone else. Would the movie 
audience have recognized the voice as being another HP character?

Just a thought
