Hmm. Good question. I personally think that Lily and James were very close
to "Hogwarts types", like Hagrid, Dumbledore, etc., after they left. I
reckon they also kept in close contact with school friends like Sirius and
Remus Lupin.

Moreover, I guess, James & Lily were likely involved with whatever the
precursor organisation to "The Order of the Phoenix" was -- the
Dumbledore-based group, at any rate. I bet Hagrid and most of the other
Hogwartsites, as well as Sirius, Remus et al were also involved.
