I like the greenish smoke idea. But I would bet that there were far 
more than 3 spells cast. When James (or whoever else was there if 
you dont believe it was James) said "You go, ill hold him off!," 
that he didnt just stand in the path of Voldy. I imagine he dueled 
with him for several minutes. Harry did in the graveyard, so why 
couldnt James? A few shield charms or something?
