But Sirius says that when he arrived at Godric's Hollow to check on 
Lily and James..."I saw their house destroyed, their bodies..."  That 
indicates to me that he saw a man that he recognized as his best 
friend James.  Now, maybe this wasn't James and some elaborate plot 
will be revealed to show that this was someone else Polyjuiced as 
James. Or maybe this person was horribly mangled and all Sirius saw 
was black hair and glasses, and he simply assumed it was James.  

Wait! I've got it! It was Regulus!  He was the one secretly in love 
with Lily.  Not Snape or Lupin. And, Harry's weird little question in 
OoP where he wonders if Lily was forced to marry James will be 
revealed as the truth.  Harry is not James' son - he's really 
Regulus' son and Sirius' nephew, which will now be revealed once the 
issue of the Black inheritance comes into play in Book 6.  The timing 
coincides with Regulus' death "some fifteen years ago."

Can't you just see it? Draco and Narcissa sashay into the Wizard 
Probate Office, fully expecting to be granted whatever is left of the 
Black estate, and they are stunned to discover that Regulus left an 
heir behind. 

Whew...okay, I'm back on earth now.  I don't know where that came 
from.  I need a vacation.
