Here's a completely different thought on the godmother thing: what if 
the godmother is Arabella Figg?  We already know she is coming back 
(likely [?] as the DAtDA professor) in OotP.  And if she is the 
godmother, she would have been doing her duty all along, as she 
watched over Harry.  

What if she's the female friend of Lily's? She is, after all, part of 
the "old gang," according to Dumbledore...  Thoughts on this 
possibility?

As an aside, I also personally don't believe she's an elderly lady - 
I think it's a disguise.  I think she's likely to be of the same 
generation as James, Lily, Sirius, Lupin and Severus - again, "the 
old gang."
