Well, I've thought about this, too. But then I found a listing of 
other flower names (both male and female) from mugglenet.com. Here's 
their list:

Petunia Dursley 
Lily Potter
Narcissa Malfoy
Violet (lady in a portrait who hangs out with the Fat Lady) 
Lavender Brown 
Fleur Delacour 
Moaning Myrtle 
Poppy Pomfrey 
Pansy Parkinson 

So I think its just a bit of flower-name fun. But no doubt there 
will be a big relevation in Harry's heritage (flower-related or not)
coming up in the next books.
