I've been wondering the same thing Jayne.

In the books JKR said James' parents were older; but
the reader never found out what actually happened to
them. Maybe it'll be in her encyclopedia, all the info
she didn't to tell us in the last book. I hope so!
IMO, I tend to believe they weren't alive when James &
Lily died. They would definitely had been the right
couple to leave Harry with, not the Dursely's.

I would have LOVED to see the Potter household with
teenage James & Sirius running amok. That would have
been very funny I'm sure.
