In Britain, traditon is 2 godmothers and 1 godfather per girl and 2 
godfathers and 1 godmother per boy - but these traditions are 
changing, influenced a great deal by celebrities - whereby any 
number seems to be acceptable nowadays.

Arabella Figg - if she isn't using an aging potion, which some seem 
to think - is more of an age to match Harry's grandparents than 
parents as a friend or contemporary.

So one would assume, James Potter's parents' friend, as Lily's side, 
allegedly, were Muggles through and through.  Unless one of Lily's 
parents was from the wizard world, and their first child - Petunia - 
was a squib, so they decided to live like muggles in general - hence 
their pride in Lily being born a witch!

Oh, the possibilities!
