And the website does in fact say Lily first, then James, not the 
other way as suggested by the original post - the origina poster 
misquoted the FAQ.

Lily came out first because she was killed first.  The American 
editors got it wrong in their first printing, and had James come out 
first, saying to hand on for his mother.  They got it wrong because 
they thought Harry needed to hear the instructions from his mother - 
the one who afforded him his protections.
