Tomboy Lily/Dursleys

I don't remember who, but somebody brought up that the only female friend of 
Lily who could have gone against Dumbledore's decision to leave Harry at the 
Dursleys would be his godmother.
Now my question: Where is this godmother? I know there has never been any 
mention of her in the books but where I live (Germany) every child usually 
has two or even three godparents. Usually one female and one male and from 
each side of its parents. As Sirius was obviously from James' side, it is 
only logical that there should be a godmother from Lily's side around.
In my family the godparent usually is the sibling of the parent, sometimes 
the grandparent of the kid. And as far as we know Petunia is the only sister 
Lily had. What if Petunia is Harry's godmother and she just never told him?
Okay, now you say that Petunia hates Lily and has always hated her and 
hadn't seen her for ages at the beginning of PS/SS, BUT: Couldn't it be that 
her parents or perhaps a grandmother or somebody similar (who is dead by 
now) could have badgered her into being the godmother? After the christening 
she would still have severed all ties with Lily and her family until Harry 
turned up at her doorstep.
Which would then give a bit of a new spin as to why the Dursleys didn't give 
Harry to an orphanage.
