After Hogwarts, Lily and Snape continue their relationship, and she learns
of his secret career. Lily becomes pregnant.  Big worries because Snape -
now deeply entrenched in his clandestine work - cannot be known to be
involved with this Mudblood who has crossed LV before (we don't yet know
how) and the couple fear for their safety as well as that of their child.
They turn to Dumbledore... and James.  The marriage with Potter is hastily
arranged; casual friends and family believing they "had" to get married.
It's hoped that this arrangement affords protection for Lily and the baby,
provides James and Sirius the chance to be together without revealing their
truth to the world and allows Snape, losing his family for the sake of their
survival, to continue his dangerous work.

Sorry to disappointment you.  Here is a very definite quote from JKR's web
site.  It is in the rumors section, under the rumor Voldemort is Harry's
father or grandfather.  It speaks just as clearly to your idea of Harry's
parentage.  Here is the quote.

Voldemort is Harry's real father/grandfather/close relative of some
description

No, no, no, no, no. You lot have been watching much too much Star Wars.
James is DEFINITELY Harry's father. Doesn't everybody Harry meets say 'you
look
just like your father'? And hasn't Dumbledore already told Harry that
Voldemort is the last surviving descendent of Salazar Slytherin? Just to
clarify
- this means that Harry is NOT a descendent of Salazar Slytherin.
