Snow:
I really liked your analogy Steve!

Lily=plate1
James=2
Bertha=3
Frank=4
Cedric=5
Wormtails hand=6

To get the whole idea you need to go backwards with the plates. Lets
make the following example:
Priori Incantatem: backwards to who was killed from last to first:

Wormtails hand=6
Cedric=5
Frank=4
Bertha=3
James=2 (James coming out before Lily)
Lily=1

So, 1st Lily was killed then, 2nd James was killed then, 3rd Bertha
was killed, then 4th Frank was killed, then 5th Cedric was killed
then, 6th Wormtails hand came out.

vmonte responds:

My gut feeling is that she has made a mistake, again. I think that 
her American publisher was right all along.

If James was killed after Lily then he might not have been at GH at 
all. So who did Voldemort kill?  He says that he killed James first?!
So why is the order wrong? She must have made a mistake on her 
website! If she didn't it can only mean that Voldemort is wrong about 
what happened that night.  Did he think he killed James (and was it 
really Harry he killed, or someone else impersonating James?). 
The "fake" James I pressume does not come out of the wand because 
Voldemort and Harry's wands broke contact after Lily came out.  

Voldemort then kills Lily and becomes Vapormort. At this point he 
cannot kill the real James, right?  So someone must have picked up 
his wand and found the real James. Who I wonder? This could also mean 
that the fake James was buried with Lily. Will Harry find where they 
are buried and then have to dig out the body for identification? 

Is Voldemort's body in James's plot? Is it 17/18 year old Harry in 
their? Or someone else?
