Alright, I find your reasoning for the last paragraph (dying words) 
to make a great deal of sense.  But how does someone get 
AKed and still have dying words, or was he injured, and knew it 
was the end?  Also, I think the wording of what he said that 
wouldn't tip off LV might be interesting, unless LV was in a mad 
rush/ giddiness by then and wasn't too aware of his 
surroundings (why I think he told Lily to move).

Finally, I have a few theories on the HBP (but, unfortunately, 
without any canon, because I can't even think of any to support it).
You expertly explained how James is not likely to be the voice 
that Harry hears, but you never even hinted as to who it might be.  
Therefore, I think the new DADA teacher will be the HBP, a 
completely new character, or atleast one we haven't heard 
enough about.  The HBP will have some important information 
for Harry (even the odd voice that night?), like Lupin in PoA.  
Then, after he leaves this year (the connection to Sirius, dies 
elsewhere, shunned??), Snape becomes next year's DADA, and 
then he and DD go down in the end.

Smart, who has discovered in writing it, this idea can hold water 
about as well as a screened door can resist the rain.
