James' "echo" emerged from Voldemort's wand at the graveyard. So, 
certainly James is dead, and at Volemort's hand. Since (according to 
the corrected version) James emerges before Lily, we also certainly 
know that he was killed before she was.

If there was some other man at GH and Voldemort had killed him (or, 
in fact, cursed him in any way), then his "echo" or the echo of the 
curse would have emerged *between* James and Lily. Since that wasn't 
the case, and there was somebody else in GH, he must have been a 
collaborator. Which kind of makes the whole dramatic secret keeper, 
betrayal, and Voldemort's attack a bit redundant, no?
