SSSusan:
Sorry -- not so that there's no evidence James was rich.  We have 
this from JKR in an AOL chat from 2000:

J.K. Rowling: Well, I can't go into too much detail, because you're 
going to find out in future books. But James inherited plenty of 
money, so he didn't need a well-paid profession. You'll find out more 
about both Harry's parents later.
