vmonte responds:

I'm confused. How does your comments change the order of the
parents deaths? Voldemort's wand shows the victims of his spells in
reverse order. From most recent attack to the earliest. James was 
killed before Lily. He comes out of the wand first, then Lily who was
killed after. (At least that is all the victims we know of since H
& V's wands broke connection after Lily came out.)

Ally:

But if it was reverse order from the most recent to the earliest,
Lily should have come out of the wand before James, because she was
killed after him. It should have been Cedric, Lily, James if it was
in reverse order, not Cedric, James, Lily. Later versions of the
book had Lily come out first, I believe. Where are you getting this
quote Gorda? I think that's a misprint of what she said, maybe.


vmonte again:

You're right! The information by the way comes directly from JKR's 
website, FAQs. This is a pretty huge mistake isn't it? Odd...
