Ceridwen:
But Lily would have had a reason to bring James home besides having a 
friend from school over for a holiday - she married him.  She would 
have wanted to introduce him to her parents, they would have talked 
(about DADA class among other things?)during his stay, and Petunia 
overheard them.

I'd love to think it was Snape.  Could you imagine?  Petunia meeting 
Snape again after many years:  "You!"

Snape:  "You!"

Both go screaming into the night
