Hi ME here:  I'm just wondering why several posts have said  that they
think; James and Lily would name Petunia as Harrys godmother.  She has
never seen Harry until he turns up on her door step; where DD left him
(SS).  It says she see's Harry and screams!  (oh no I just had a
horrible thought, maybe she was reading the letter about her dead
sister and screams)  (just looked it up on SS, it doesn't say that. it
says she opened the door to put out the milk bottles and screamed.)  

But, James doesn't seem like the type to suffer fools gladly, and I 'm
sure he would see Petunia in just that light.  Also, don't you have to
have some kind of ceremony to make someone a godparent?  I *do* think
that Harry has a godmother, but maybe she is really another *he*.
*Lupin maybe*, who because he is a W-wolf, doesn't want to come
forward.  Or maybe it was Alice Longbottom?  They were in the OP
(first group) and Lily and her were pg at the same time... maybe Lily
was Nevilles godmother too.  Sad thought.

Can you tell I'm completly put-out with Petunia.  Harry is her flesh &
blood and she treats him like dirt. (and we all know how she feels
about dirt... with her abby-normal CLEAN kitchen.)  Just a quick aside
her but, anyone think that Petunia had a crush on James and he was
cruel to her and she never forgave him for it.  Therefore like Snape
she hates Harry because he *looks* just like his father.

Oh well.. gotta run.. Tj
