My guess is that V did not kill James at the door. He only stunned 
him. V then went straight to kill Harry, but had to kill Lily to get 
her out of his way. James is still alive when the house blows up 
because of the failed AK. V is vapor, so Peter (who followed V to 
GH) take V's wand and kills James because James knows Peter betrayed 
them.
This proves that V really was only shooting for Harry.<<

Stefanie replies:
My sentiments exactly. Furthermore, I believe that the Priori 
Incantatem that occured at the graveyard in GoF would only show 
previous AKs commited by Voldemort's wand because that's the spell 
he was casting at the time. No one has cast the PI spell at the time 
so the effects may as well be different from when it *is* actually 
cast.

This is how I also justify believing that Peter was using LV's wand 
when he blew up the street and killed the 12 Muggles. If bumbling 
Peter were using a powerful dark lord's wand, with the trepidation 
he must've felt at the demise of his master, and if the wand chooses 
the wizard and can be unpredictable when not used by it's respective 
owner, if Peter were using LV's wand, he may basically have been 
holding a ticking time bomb. Any spell (no less the power of an 
unforgivable) he could possibly have cast may've been unstable yet 
powerful.

If the graveyard!PI only shows AKs, the 12 Muggles wouldn't have 
emerged...which then leads me to wonder...would James have been 
killed much later than the night at GH? If it could be true that 
Peter wouldn't have had enough control over LV's wand to cast an AK 
(thus causing the street damage). Could he have been spending time 
getting used to the wand and *then* killed James? But then, why 
wouldn't anyone know that James was alive?
