Alright, I was thinking about this, and somthing occured to me. There 
are a few different kinds of lilys (the two that immeditly spring to 
mind are the water lilly and and the lily-of-the-valley). I noticed 
that water lilly was spelled differently than Lily's actual name, do 
specific kinds of lilys have specific meanings? Also, lily-of-the-
valley, could that possibly be a reference to Godric's Hollow? Isn't 
hollow another name for a small valley? That is really streching it 
though. My last point of interest, the birthday flower for the month 
of May is a lily-of-the-valley and the birthstone for that month is 
an emerald.
