Just MHO, but it's my belief a child can have any number (within reason,
obviously) of godparents, of either sex - i.e. there doesn't have to be a
godmother for every godfather. It is not unheard of for a child to have
four or five godparents.
The fact that Harry has a godfather does rather seem to imply he was
christened - one of the extremely rare references (if you can call it a
reference) to religion in the canon. But of course Sirius is really in good
old folklore tradition a "fairy-godfather"- Snuffles, why are you growling
like that? Down boy!
