mentioned what they did for a living?  I know they were in the OOTP, 
but as I understand it, that is not exactly a paying career? Ideas?"

The only reference to James and Lily, having jobs in the books comes 
from Uncle Vernon. (Probably not the best source of infomation). I am 
guessing that they did have jobs, aswell as working for the OotP. 
Similar to Arthur, Tonks, Kingsley he work at the MoM or McGonagall, 
Hagrid and Dumbledore himself who worked at Hogwarts. Some theories 
are that the Potters were a rich family and that James inherited a 
fair sum, but I think they did have jobs. James possibly playing 
Quidditch, and I do not know what sort of job Lily might of had. 
Maybe their career choices come up in later books. Harry does have 
the advantage of 10 years worth of interest though as well. Any 
suggestions to what jobs Lily might have been doing?
