However, if you follow that text-only link, you will find that the
names are again reversed, restoring the order which we have been
accustomed to:
--> Lily first, then James.
In other words, Lily appears before James, therefore she was killed
*after* him.
Someone quoted Voldemort in PS/SS saying he killed James first. I
think the evidence is overwhelming that this is indeed the case.
I don't know quite which is more disturbing: that JKR's website is
inconsistent with itself and neither she nor the web-masters spotted
it, or that all the contributors here failed to spot it either.
