Where was James?

I was reading the Lexicon, and surpringly stumbled on something that dint add up.....

Why was Lupin surprised that Harry said he heard James' voice?

When Harry was telling Lupin about the voices he'd heard, Remus reacted in surprise when Harry said he heard his dad. Why? Does Remus know something that he's not telling about that event? Does he know, for example, that James wasn't really there?

After all, Harry has never heard his father's voice, so he doesn't really know that he's hearing James, he just assumes it.

In the film, in a scene which JKR made clear that she personally added, we never see James, just Lily. So was someone else present, someone else whose voice Harry heard and mistook for that of his father? And then where was James and how did he die?

Since JKR clearly said that Voldemort killed James, I think we must look for other explanations for Lupin's reaction. At that point, for example, he hadn't told Harry that he had been friends with James, so maybe it was just a shock to hear that Harry was reliving the death of Remus' dear friend. The reaction could have come from the fact that he had to hide his feelings.

The above is mentioned in the Lexicon.

Triangle: coincidence or is it purposeful?

This is regarding the trailer of HP 5...

What exactly is the Triangular building we see in the trailer???

Is it a coincidence that a triangular symbol is on the spine of the book and we know nothing about it... The triangular building.. also something we dont know off...??? [;o] are they related??

I mite be putting two totally different things together here... but the triangle stands out!! hehe.. neone who wants to kill this statement??

Does it make sense to assume that it is azkaban and that it has an important role in HPDH?? i mean the triangle on the spine..???!@$@ ofcourse.. im just asuming.. but someone said Azkaban could be the next hiding place for a horcrux???

Does it say newhere in the books that Azkaban is a triangular structure?? i dont recall ne of the description of azkaban! yes it says surrounded by water on all three sides! but does it say its a triangle as well??
