Canon Locations

[ZaraLyon at aol.com]

Well, I've been debating, and decided that this was probably the best 
place to post these questions, as I wasn't quite sure how on- or off-
topic they would be considered. At any rate, here goes:

Has there been any discussion of where exactly Godric's Hollow is 
located? I know that it is commonly pinpointed as being somewhere in 
Wales; is there any particular reason for this belief, or is there 
any particular location in Wales where it's believed to be? North 
Wales? South Wales? Near any major Muggle cities?

Also, has there been any speculation on where Lily grew up? I know 
Evans is a common Welsh name, but is it likely she grew up in 
Wales, or is she English? 

The reason I ask is that I'm working on a fanfic. If any of you are 
familiar with my HP fic (it's posted on ff.n under the name 
Rhiannon), then you'll know that I've been writing a series of 
songfics. It may not be the most respectable sort of fanfic, but hey, 
at least I can keep it in the realm of probability. I don't want to 
write something COMPLETELY out of line. So I wanted to refer these 
questions to some people with a first-hand knowledge of the UK, or 
otherwise, some people who don't mind extrapolating big conclusions 
from little evidence.

Yours,
Rhiannon
