The fact that we don't hear James' voice in the movie could simply 
result from not having found any suitable actor. Suppose James/his 
shadow is to appear in film 6 or 7, then there was someone needed to 
play him, but this person has not been found yet. Or JKR wants to 
conceal that. If someone spoke James now and someone else played him 
afterwards... Too much confusing.

I believe Sirius knew who was Secret Keeper for James and Lily. If 
he was evil, he would want to be made Secret Keeper instead. Since 
he did not, he was good and their best friend, so they told him. He 
WAS the person they trusted most of all. 

Lupin is not interested more in Lily than in James. If I recall it 
correctly, at the time when he talks to Harry on the bridge, Harry 
has heard Lily but not James. So they talk about Lily. 
The fact that Remus has suffered from being a werewolve makes him 
kind of a tragic hero. What he needed was someone to comfort him. 
Neither James nor Sirius could do that because 1. they did not 
understand the tragic part about it and 2. Remus would not want to 
show his stronger friends his weakness. And that's where Lily comes 
in.
Lupin sounds to me as if Lily was the best female friend he ever 
had, as if he loved her like a SISTER, not like a girl friend. He 
would have spoken differently if it was the sond way. I can be 
wrong, of, course, but that is the way I feel about it.
