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.

The original poster did not misquote.  JKR had James, then Lily 
originally (on website).  When she realized that it was wrong she 
quietly corrected it.  You are late in replying to this post.  For a 
period of 24 hours the website had incorrect info.  We all saw it...
