out something incredibly important about her in Book 7. But I can't 
tell you what those things are so I'm sorry, but yes,you will find

Harry ends up having to do.

The way JKR said the above is VERY interesting, "Now the important 
thing about Harry's mother,  the really, really significant thing..." 
So we are to believe there's ONE significant thing that will have a 
huge impact on Harry's life, and it will be in two parts.  We already 
found out Harry has her "startlingly green almond-shaped eyes" before 
Book 5. Possible other significant things we know now:

1) When Lily takes her wand out, "James and Sirius eyed it warily." 
Then James says, "Ah, Evans, don't make me hex you" and Lily 
says, "Take the curse off him then."  Isn't that odd? James is 
threatening a hex and it's like Lily can't even be bothered with it, 
she knows she has the upper hand and contunues to make demands.  Does 
she possess some superior magical ability, or does she just know 
James won't hex her?

2) Standing up for Snape, not something anyone else is doing at the 
moment.

3) Standing up to James, not something anyone else seems to be doing, 
either!!

Just some thoughts--ariadne
