Cressida: I assume that Lily must have had friends of her own at 
school - she is painted as apparently good and kind so it stands to 
reason that she would probably also be popular. In Philosopher's 
Stone, Hagrid mentions that he sent around to all of James and Lily's 
friends to get photographs of them for the album he gave to Harry. It 
seems to imply that they BOTH had friends and I would assume that 
some of Lily's would be female. I can only imagine that they haven't 
been mentioned because they haven't so far had an important 
contribution to the plot. There is after all only so much space in 
the books and that is largely taken up by current events. I wonder if 
James and Lily's background is one of the things that JK Rowling 
would include in the Hogwarts fact book she has mentioned from time 
to time.
