Maybe this theory is lack of sleep combined with a head cold, but I 
am starting to wonder if either Aunt Petunia or Minerva McGonagall 
could be Harry's Godmother. I skipped the obvious Mrs. Wealsey choice 
because it would seem a little too obvious especially with how she is 
already treating him like one of her own children. Perhaps Aunt 
Petunia since she was Lily's Sister as Sirius was James's best 
friend, or Minerva as someone Dumbledore might suggest as a good 
protector of Harry. As I said maybe these are strange ideas but I am 
interested to here what others ting of one of those two perhaps being 
Harry's Godmother.
