Mel:
We obviously know Lupin knew Lily, but his comments about 
her 'finding the beauty in someone who couldn't find it in 
themselves' is the very first thing that springs to mind. I'm no 
follower of LOLLIPOPS but I can see how this might lend more 
credence to Kneasy's "Aggie" theory (which I find much more 
persauasive especially now).
Be that as it may, now on into book 5, Harry's empathy with Snape 
after snooping into the pensieve hints that he should be able to see 
more than the outside package--he just has to admit it now. (This, 
BTW, is always what I've gotten out of all the comments 
about "having Lily's eyes" over the years. The green to me was just 
embroidery--I believe that means he sees the way Lily sees, not that 
he looks like her.)
Another thing that hit me like a lead brick was Sirius's comment to 
Snape in the SS scene about the Chemistry set. I don't know WHY this 
is sticking with me other than the fact I felt like lunging through 
the screen at him. I loved it though because it really brought the 
truer, Bully!Sirius into play there. If they'd only explaind that 
they were, in fact, all in school together it would have been even 
better.

I found it VERY interesting that any mention of Harry hearing James 
was missing. I never thought the voice he heard in the book was that 
of James, I wonder if the film has inadvertently made that clearer--
as in the 'flashback scene' in the first film not showing James at 
all. Jame's actual presence at Godric's Hollow at the moment of VD's 
destruction is becoming less and less obvious.
