You idiot, James was married to Lily!

Actually, if you think about some earlier posts... about whether James showed signs of being an abuser and/or specifically abusive to Lily....
Well, there is a very obvious and rational reason why an abuser would choose a woman whose relatives are COMPLETELY, totally, genetically powerless to protect her from him....
Sort of gives a different twist to the thought that in a household that KNEW they were targeted by Lord Voldemort, the wife didn't have an emergency Portkey in the baby's nursery....
Eh?
On another topic, I just doublechecked Canon. Lupin is often (eg on Wikipedia) credited with being a member of the first OotP, but he is not in Moody's picture of "the original order".
