I like the forced marriage theme. It has always been
my impression that Lily was from a wizarding family,
one that had a squib a few generations back and then
married muggles. They would be so proud then because
they could re-enter the WW. 

I argue the teenage pregnacy for time issues. Correct
me if I'm wrong, but is there not a five year
difference between their graduation and death? Of
course, it is quite possible the WW has a way of
suspending the developement processes of a fetus, but
I doubt they would use it.
