Sorry but I just boggled and I wanted a sanity check.

I am not aware of any possible reason from canon to doubt that the man
who appeared from Voldemort's wand in the graveyard scene was anyone
other than James Potter.

JKR on her website has now --- after a bit of jiggery-pokery to make
sure the animated and text versions are consistent with each other ---
confirmed that Lily appeared first, followed by James, and that he was
therefore killed before her (presumably very shortly or at least with
no intervening murders).

This would appear to be concrete proof that James Potter did indeed
die at Godric's Hollow, just as Voldemort confirmed.

Which man are you saying "was not James"?
