-In Reverse Order as the SHOULD have exited the Wand-
Cedric ...then
Frank ...then
James ...then
finally ...Lily

Lily was killed then James was killed, in reverse, James exited Lord-V
wand then Lily exited the wand. By JKR's own words, on her own
personal website, James came out before Lily.

This throws a monkey wrench into everything.

Where the hell was James while Lily and Harry were being attacked?

Who was yelling for Lily to grab Harry and run?

Who, what, when, where, and how was Jame killed?

Now I'm thoroughly confused. The Night at Godric's Hollow just became
a far far far more complex event than I have previously considered. I
dumbfounded at trying to contemplate the magnitude of it all.

Do you think that her American editor was right all along?

"Yes, boy, your parents were brave.... I killed your father first, 
and he put up a courageous fight...but your mother needn't have 
died...she was trying to protect you.... Now give me the Stone, 
unless you want her to have died in vain."
