Because she, and she alone, knows that the man standing behind her is 
in fact Snape, who has conked James on the noggin, stolen his 
fingernail for Polyjuice Potion, and usurped his place at his own 
wedding.  It can't last long, but for the moment she's with The Man 
She Truly Loves.

Sorry, I'm feeling a bit punchy from the trailer and all.

Well, she's already graduated.  Maybe they're still a couple but she 
didn't come along, though it seems like as fun a way to spend 
Christmas night as any.

Re: trailer:

Mea culpa, Mechanimagus--you had just written that we should put in 
spoiler space and in my reply I forgot to.

My 2 knuts is that those who haven't seen the trailer should probably 
avoid posts with trailer in the title.  When HP5 comes out, I'm just 
going to stay off the list until I've finished it.  But if the Mod 
Squad wants to impose a week-long spoiler rule or something, I will 
of course oblige.
