Ok, after reading Make a Wish and running across a few other fics like it, I was curious.
What if James, as a contingency plan, called in a number of favors to make sure that Harry is properly trained to battle Voldemort (this is assuming that he and Lily know of the prophesy).
Of course, not even Dumbledore realizes James' actions until Fred and George try to instigate a prank on Harry, and the plan is set in motion.
Who or what would James contact in order to get Harry trained to battle a wizard with decades more training than him.

This idea originally came about from pottersplace scene contest with Fred and George deciding that Harry needs to learn about human relationships the FUN way...by sending him "starkers" to a Veela colony. It is only later that they realize that something else happened than what they had originally intended.
