>>>Asian_lovr2:
Don't get too excited. I thought it was HUGE when JKR confirmed on 
her website the JAMES came out of Voldy's wand first. That certainly 
threw a twist into things. We had already discussed it in great 
detail when suddenly, JKR's website changed to say 'Lily first then 
James'.

Until the statement has remained unchallenged on her websiter for 
30 days, I'm not considering it a fact. Personally, I think she 
actually meant to say either 'his mother's PARENTS' or Harry's 
grandparents.

Hehe, you snipped my disclaimer Xo)

The wand order thing messed with my theory-ridden mind for the whole 
day and a half or so that it was up (I did refer to it in my 
original post, also). But even without the "mother's grandparents" 
deal, the whole FAQ answer has Harry's half-bloodedness detail 
questions written all over it. 

(But if anything, it did seal the deal that James is pure-blooded, 
for me. There's been so much speculation that Harry is half-blooded 
because Lily is really half and James is half or whatever 
combination you can think of -- but the fact that she clarified the 
Death Eater's standpoint is important. Bellatrix and Lucius would 
consider Lily of "tainted" blood no matter the distance of Muggle 
ancestor -- if James also were to have "tainted blood" they wouldn't 
call Harry half-blood, but probably just plain "mudblood." It seems 
that their saying "half-blood" really is their inability to deny 
James' purebloodedness.) 

In my original post I suggested her possibly meaning to refer to his 
grandparents on his mother's side and muddling it up in that way. As 
for now? It's canon until it's revoked, in my book Xo)
