Ah, where's the fun in that? ;)  The off-the-wall suggestions are the most
fun to come up with.  However, while I admit that the closet Death Eater one
is highly unlikely, the Lily Slytherin one would make a plausible and
satisfying one in terms of plot development.  Everyone's been talking about
the redemption of Slytherin and how it could occur, and Lily being a member
would provide a very good avenue for it.  Don't rule it out just yet.
