HunterGreen:
I'm a little confused about all this confusion. When I went to the 
FAQ the answer to the question was:

"Lily first, then James. That's how it appears in my original 
manuscript but we were under enormous pressure to edit it very fast 
and my American editor thought that was the wrong way around, and he 
is so good at catching small errors I changed it without thinking, 
then realised it had been right in the first place. We were all very 
sleep-deprived at the time."

Perhaps it (the info on the site) was put on incorrectly at first? 
(thus making an already confusing situation *more* confusing). I'd 
suggest going to the above link (perhaps re-loading the page or 
deleting your temporary internet files and THEN re-loading the page), 
I think it was all just a mistake. ANOTHER mistake, that is. Either 
that or there's something off with my computer (or my eyes).
