The above revelation is important, I think, b/c it shows that Lily 
was one of only a very few people brave enough to stand up to James 
and Sirius.  Also, in this scene, James and Sirius "eyed her wand 
warily" so no matter how clever they were at curses and hexes, Lily 
was an equal or more powerful witch.

The other revelation from this scene, discussed in a prior thread,was 
we found out Lily's eyes were almond-shaped.  Another person pointed 
out to me that the only character so far with almond-shaped eyes was 
the sphinx in GOF. What that translates to in future books, or if 
that's merely a red herring--who knows.  My slightly tongue-in-cheek 
guess was she's a "sphinxamorphagus" who can do magic with her eyes 
(and Harry, too).

And of course, there's the often discussed theory that Snape and/or 
Lily had a crush on the other, so her standing up for him and Snape's 
reaction could be support for those theories.
