As I said in another post, there's another, smaller version of the
flint still uncorrected in my Scholastic edition of GoF. When Harry 
is telling Sirius and Dumbldore about the events in the graveyard, his
father is mentioned before his mother. I'd look up the page number,
but it's 1:47 in the morning and besides, you have a different 
edition.

Carol again:
I do think it's a flint, and it isn't prompted by any words from
Dumbledore. It's exactly like the version Geoff quoted except that
"father" and "mother" are switched. Everyone else comes out of the
wand in the right sequence. Here's the passage and page number from
the Scholastic edition (July 2000): "He tried to keep talking, but the
memories of what had come out of the wand were flooding into his mind.
He could see Cedric emerging, see the old man, Bertha Jorkins. . . his
father. . . his mother. . ." (p. 696). This order reflects the
unrevised scene and apparently was not corrected even though the
graveyard scene itself (p.667) was revised to reflect events at
Godric's Hollow.

Carol, who hopes that when it's time to revise the books, JKR sits
down and carefully compares the English and American editions
