I disagree Jen. The people emerge in reverse order. Notice, the 
caretaker, Bertha Jorkins and Cedric all come out before James and 
Lily because those people were killed after J&L. If James comes out 
before Lily, that means that he died after she did.

This is sort of like the time turner for twisting one's brain around.
