Priori Incantatem (US Version GoF):

Wormtail's Hand
Cedric 
The Old Man
Bertha
Lily
James
 
Now with that list we see that Lily comes out of Voldemort's wand 
before James. That would mean that Lily died after James not the 
other way around. 
 
Now, like I said in my previous post and what you didn't understand, 
is that I disagree with the Lily died first theory not the Lily 
comes out of the wand first theory, because it states in both PS/SS 
that she did not die first and the order by which she and James came 
out of the wand in GoF backs up the paragraph in SS/PS. 
 
Is it clearer to you now? If not, then I don't know what to tell you.


vmonte responds: 
Have you read all the previous posts regarding who died first?  The 
reason we were all talking about Lily dying before James was because 
JKR had a typo on her website.  For a period of 24 hours she had 
incorrect info on her website. She reversed the order of James and 
Lily's death.  When she realized that she made a typo she quietly 
corrected it.  That is when we stopped theorizing about what could 
have happened at Godric's Hollow.

There are several posts explaining what happened, but here is one of 
mine #  104244.
