that the reference to James's wand foreshadowed his ability to 
transform into a stag. The reference to Lily's wand is probably 
foreshadowing as well.<snip >

Mandy here:
Thanks Carol.  Phew!  I was beginning to think I was all alone out 
there. ;-)

She had to have done more than just die.  JKR has set her up as this 
pro-active, fearless women, powerful at charm work and her protection 
over Harry is some kind of a charm. Separate from DD's charm of 
protection that seals it at Petunia's.  

We know that scar appears after the attack; just how it got there is 
still a mystery.

Cheers Mandy
