Didn't he sacrifice himself for Harry and Lily? If Voldemort killed
James, and then he attempted to kill Lily so he could get to Harry,
wouldn't his spell have rebounded on him, because of
James' 'protection'? And, let's not forget, Voldemort didn't
necessarily want to kill Lily anyway, "Stand aside silly girl"!
There's something wrong with this, it doesn't make sense.>

I agree, and it even leads me more into the James mystery. In the
movies and if I remember correctly, in the book, We never actually see
the scene of James' death. Maybe its because he was not in the same
room or maybe because he was defending them at the entrance, I don't
know exactly. But that makes me wonder what is up with James's death?
We know he died because JKR said that BOTH of Harry's parents were
dead and never coming back, but if James' death was mentioned, it was
not stressed upon like Lily's. I mean his death should have the
protection like you have said, but only Harry was the one anyhow and
only he could stop Voldemort that night. But for some reason his death
just doesn't seem as important as Lily's, and I wonder why since he
was doing practically the same thing as Lily was, protecting someone.
Maybe I am making too much of it, but I am getting too paranoid about
what is a clue to think straight anymore :P
