Aggie:
I would add to that in saying that another 'very significant' thing 
we found out about Lily in book 5 was from the pensieve scene.  That 
she was willing to stand up for something she believed in.  That she 
had high morals and wasn't afraid to voice them.  She had courage and 
conviction. 
 

As for her blood, I think you could have something but I do wonder if 
we've missed something as you quoted, "He shed her blood, but it 
lives on in you and her sister."   Now I realise this probably just 
means that LV killed her, but what if you take it literally. 'He shed 
her blood' but we know -or do we?- that he didn't shed a drop. If he 
AK'd her then no blood was spilt.
