Theory on James and Lilly Potters occupations

I had an idea along these lines awhile back and I was tring to find 
some quotes and such.

I was thinking since Lily is mentioned as having a wand good for 
charms and knowing the ancient charm that saved Harry so may have 
been a Charms teacher.  In book 6 several of the teachers say how 
long they have been teaching but I don't see a mention for Flitwick 
you just assume he has been there for years.  Maybe I missed that in 
another book.  I think James would have been the DADA teacher maybe 
the "curse" for teachers not lasting long started there.  In an 
interview/chat JKR said that James has a low paying job because his 
family left him money.  She also has said that Hogwarts has a 
graveyard and it would come up in a latter book.  Maybe we will see 
that this is where James/Lily are baried as they were teachers.

Here is a quote I mentioned(I can't find the graveyard one right now):

What did James and Lily Potter do when they were alive?

"Well, I can't go into too much detail, because you're going to find 
out in future books. But James inherited plenty of money, so he 
didn't need a well-paid profession. You'll find out more about both 
Harry's parents later." AOL Chat 19 October 2000
