former girlfriend of Sirius Black and relation (Sister!  Sister!) to 
Harry Potter, she must have used some kind of aging spell, not 
polyjuice.  I imagine you all know this and are just *saying* 
polyjuice, but I wanted to make it clear (mostly to myself) that that 
was impossible.

Arabella has probably taken an ageing potion like George in Fred in 
GoF but who knows what cool disguises the WW has up it's sleeve.

I think Arabella may be a friend of Lily's especially if this is the 
book where we finally learn more about Lily. She could even be 
Harry's godmother. 

But does that seem vaugely sexist to anyone? That all of James close 
friends are men so Lily's close friends would be women? I think I'm 
thinking of Hermione when I type this. Her two closest friends are 
male (not counting Neville), I don't even know of any other girls 
Hermione even pals around with the exception of Ginny. But it could 
just be in her nature to befriend boys rather than girls.
