I personally think James died first, but regardless of that, the fact that
AKing Harry vaporized Voldemort doesn't necessarily mean he killed James
first. See, Priori Incantem shows all previous spells, not just the previous
spells performed by the wizard holding it. That's why we saw Cedric's echo
appear from the wand despite the fact that it was wormtail who AKed him,
using Voldemort's wand. So, it's still possible to theorize that Voldemort
got vaporized and then a servant of his picked up the wand and killed James.
If only JKR would make up her mind, eh? ^^
