If James was not there, and it was indeed someone else, how do we 
explain the shadows in the graveyard scene? The explanation we got 
from DD about the brother wand effect was that it caused the wand to 
regurgitate spells from most recent to the oldest until the 
connection is broken. There is no other shadow between Lily and 
James. It can't be Harry's back to the future self because Lily 
refers to him as "your father."

So, if James was not there, LV had not cast a single spell between 
the time he Killed Mr. Potter until he killed Lily.

Also, if it were another man or someone else there, did V not duel 
with him or kill him outright?  


Thoughts, rebuttals?
