> Now, I am not for Severus and Lily, Catherine. Yes, there's no unrequited love for Snape but at that lead to my other question: Is Lily Potter happy with James? I can't see the point of happiness running away from Voldemort often. She's always in peril with the man she love, doesn't she? 

I think Athena raises an excellent point. We really don't know if James 
and Lily were happy. We only know that they married. :) Certainly, the 
whole Voldemort situation no doubt did put a damper on their happiness.

As many authors have said, we just don't know enough. I think that we 
can deduce that Lily was a devoted mother, based on her sacrifice for 
Harry, and the spell of her love in Harry's skin. That's all we know.

Athena, thank you for pointing that out.
