James knows Peter betrayed them. <<<


Bren now: Hehe, I like how you think. I posted a similar argument in 
Message 103142 "Did someone else kill James? (Re: FAQs: Lily died 
before James?)"

------------------- <snip>
How did James die AFTER Lily? Perhaps James was at GH after all. But
I still believe that there was a 3rd person present at the scene,
possibly the mysterious VM servant, the real traitor of the Potters.
I can think of a couple of possibilities:

1. Lily holding the baby, VM 'stand aside, silly girl...' -- kills
Lily. JAmes, possibly battling with the traitor/3rd party somewhere
else, rushes to Lily's aid but too late, got blown up by VM. Then VM
goes for Harry, then booroom-chee!

2. The traitor killed James with VM's wand AFTER Voldemort's
downfall. Makes sense, the traitor didn't expect the Potters to
live, but if his Dark Lord got destroyed then the traitor couldn't
let James walk free. James just had learned who the real traitor was
all long, he had to go. I personally think it was one of the
Marauders, most likely Lupin (thanks Pippin... multiple sighs...)

But why did the traitor use VM's wand? It's more powerful? But it's
not his own wand... But the wand chooses the wizard... Dunno, too
many questions...
