Well, since we have no clue how James died, he could have certainly
died after Lily. What if Voldemort used another killing curse on
James, other than the AK, that kills the vitcim slowly and painfully. 

Considering that James came out of the wand at the end of GoF, he must
have been at GH. So, LV used the slow killing curse on James, moved on
and used AK on Lily, killing her, at this point, the curse could have
killed James.
