Believe it or not Jenni. Only two days ago the page most certainly 
said James first, then Lily.........

It was read reread and cut and pasted by the shocked fandom that saw 
it. The very next day it changed to what you see now.

I agree that what appears now (ie Lily then James) must be the 
correct and accurate version of events. 

Surely Jo must have been listening in when we all began hopping 
merrily along with our Lily died first theories, is all I can say, 
because she corrected us swiftly on that.

Order seems to have some great deal of relevance to the book themes. 
JKR alludes often to things being in reverse order in the WW. I 
wonder if the "Order of the Phoenix" name has some relevance. We 
know a phoenix has a kind of reverse order in its life in that its 
end is its beginning.
