Mel, I distinctly remember reading this, too. In the Nov. 2001 messages on HPFGU-
Movie, people talked as if they, too, had heard that JKR wrote or had significant input 
into that scene, including the non-appearance of James. In two places in the Lexicon, 
this is alluded to, but without a source footnoted:

Lexicon article on Godric's Hollow: "According to published reports, Rowling had 
direct input into the scene in the first film."

and on The Missing 24 Hours: "In the film, in a scene which JKR made clear that she 
personally added, we never see James, just Lily."

But I cannot for the life of me find the original source. Can anyone help?

(I'm keeping this here instead of on the movie list because it affects to what extent 
that scene is canon.)
