Also, keep in mind that James was one of the most
brilliant students to ever come through Hogwarts.
Not THE most brilliant, but certainly one of the 
most brilliant. Further Lily was no slouch herself,
not to mention that Sirius was also a brilliant
student. Anyone of them would have been more than
able to cast the charm to protect the Potters.

You know I lost respect for Rowling after DH, but reading your post
something just hit me.  It's like Rowling already had these perfectly formed
images in her head and obnoxiously thought or mistakenly hoped the readers
would see the same.  Yet she writes the exact opposite of what and whom
these characters are.  Like, for example, she says character A is brilliant
and then lobs the whole basket of idiotic characteristics onto character A.

 

She does the same thing here with brilliance as she does with evil!  She
tells us these people are evil and shows the good delighting in the
practices of such evil acts.

 

She tells us these people are brilliant and then shows them to be utter
imbeciles!!!  

 

Brilliant:                                              

Voldemort

James

Sirius

 

Blubbering dipthongs:

Pettigrew

Draco

 

 

Quirks:

Dumbledore

Snape

 

It seems being quirky is brilliant, brilliance is idiocy and blubbering
idiots are cunningly brilliant.
