Question for anyone with a copy of DH handy

Both the HP wiki and the HP lexicon think that James Potter was probably going into his second year in the epilogue. I had the impression he was about to enter the third year. Is there any evidence either way? ETA Thanks, everyone. It looks like at the very least there is sufficient doubt about the matter for me to get away with what I wanted.

Can I blame you then for telling me third year and being so darn reliable and trustworthy that I believed you without question? :-P

Of course I won't really and I don't even think I heard it from you actually but it's bugging me I can't remember.

I'm pretty sure you didn't get it from me because I knew it was just supposition (not to mention not very interesting) and never bothered to discuss it before and as I don't write fanfiction I don't have to worry about what other people think. I am wondering if it was in that dreadful fic you betaed and asked me to check. I think it works either way depending on what you think the point of "last year" was. I wouldn't pick anyone up on saying either 2nd or 3rd year although I might if anyone said someone was wrong for thinking the opposite.
