More time travel thoughts...

I am repeating the PoA patronus scene with Lupin and Harry below to
comment on my previous thoughts regarding whether Harry's father was
at Godric's Hollow the night of Voldemort's attack.

PoA, U.S. paperback version, p 240-241:
"I heard my dad," Harry mumbled. "That's the first time I've ever
heard him -- he tried to take on Voldemort himself, to give my mum
time to run for it..." (This is the first time Harry has heard his
father's voice--so he automatically assumes the voice is him.)

"You heard James?" said Lupin in a strange voice.

Harry then asks Lupin if he knew his father at school.

"I -- I did, as a matter of fact," said Lupin. "We were friends at
Hogwarts..."
Lupin then changes the subject back to the patronus charm.

The other reason I'm suspicious is that during the filming of SS, I
read somewhere(?) that JKR asked that James not be shown during the
flash back scene that shows Lily being killed at GH. I do not have a
link to prove this as fact, but maybe someone else remembers, or
knows, where this thought originates from.

In the PoA movie this male voice is gone altogether. Did they not
want the audience to recognize the voice of the person at GH?

If the voice is not James or Lupin, could it be eighteen year old
Harry?

What if the voice is time turner Harry at Godric's Hollow?
(Before you say that Harry should recognize his own voice, remember
that in PoA he is thirteen years old. By the time he time travels to 
GH he will be seventeen/eighteen.)

I had a dream last night that teenage Harry begins to remember what
happened at Godric's Hollow, and realizes that he is the one that is
telling Lily to run. (Yes, it's the Back-to-the-Future type movie
scenario.) Come to think of it, maybe he uses the penseive to dissect
this memory.

It would not be the first time that Harry mistook himself to be his
father (end of PoA dementor patronus scene).

Or was Lupin at GH?

Below is a quote from Kloves about his thoughts regarding Lupin's
feelings towards Lily:

Kloves says that when he first met Rowling, he told her he intuited
that Lily "was quite special" and that James "was complicated." And
in the bridge scene, Lupin "illuminates Harry about his mother - the
most wonderful thing about her was that she was understanding toward
Lupin at a time few were. She saw something special about him when
others, including himself, couldn't." Kloves admits, "I think he was
in love with her in many ways."
