Maybe you're right about it not being James's voice that Harry was 
hearing.  It would go some way to explaining one thing - why DIDN'T 
Lily flee?  If the idea was for James to hold off Voldemort long 
enough to give her time to escape (which is what I assumed 
happened), how come she didn't grab Harry and run?  But while she 
might have listened to James telling her to go, she could have had 
the opposite impulse if *someone else* were telling her to.  Or if 
someone else were there that she trusted - then it might be a case 
of "James needs me!  You take Harry!" while she ran to help James.  
And what then?  Did the person she trusted actually betray them, and 
leave Harry to Voldemort's mercies? But it's hard for me to fit 
Lupin into these lurid scenarios - he just doesn't seem like a 
Rowling villain. I think it's more likely Peter was there, to see 
the successful completion of his treachery (and be immediately 
rewarded by LV), and she might have been screaming when she realized 
that he had betrayed them all.
