Florence?

I am still going through old messages in hopes that I don't repeat 
too many things.  I have yet to come across anyone mentioning 
Florence.  In GoF(A), chapter 30, pg 598, when Dumbledore and Harry 
are looking in the pensieve, Bertha Jorkins comes out.  She mentions 
a girl by the name of Florence.  Who is Florence?  Is she a nobody or 
as JKR so often does, is she someone important to the story and we 
just don't know it yet. Snapes face had just appeared in the pensieve 
and a few moments later Dumbledore is bringing up Bertha Jorkins.  It 
is the part about the "hex" that leads me to believe it could have 
been Snape kissing Florence.  Most people are so determined that 
Snape was in love with Lily but could he have been in love with 
Florence.  Did she die?  Did V. kill her?  Is that why Snape came 
back to the good side?  I know this theory is about as weak as that 
vampire theory, but hey.......

Or could it have been Sirius Black who was kissing Bertha.  He 
mentions her nosiness twice!

Just a few thoughts.
