Jen: Yes, more about Lily and James.  There was nothing about how Lily 
came to see James as someone other than an arrogant toerag, very little 
information about James that painted him in a new light.  I suppose the 
letter and memory of Godric's Hollow were meant to portray James 
differently.  It was so little to go on though.  What did they do for 
work?  How did they defy LV 3 times?  What were their tasks as Order 
members?  All of that information would have rounded out the characters 
much more.  Most of the information about them comes from others, 
including Godric's Hollow as seen through Voldemort's memory - that 
part disappointed me a little.
