Couldn't Emma Thompson just do a nice red semi-permanent color and be 
Lily?

I agree about Branagh as Lockhart!! Perfect!!

Another Lily alternate:  Imogene Stubbs, who played Miss Steel in 
Sense and Sensibility. Again, she would have to go red, but that is 
not too difficult. She has a really nice mysterious quality which 
would work in that mirror scene.
