friends but nothing at all about Lily's pals.  Did Harry have a 
Godmother?  I suppose we will have to wait and see.

think that there are.  I don't have the book in front of me, but in 
the "Snape Torture" scene, doesn't it have her splashing in the lake 
with other girls?  (Or am I remembering the scene wrong?  I am 
rereading OotP but have not made it to that part yet)


Jen: There's been speculation that Alice Longbottom was Lily's 
friend, possibly even Harry's Godmother, but I don't think there's 
any canon for that. Well, except they were around the same age and 
both had infant sons, and surely both knew something about the 
Prophecy (or at least that their sons were in danger)...OK, that's a 
little canon for at least knowing each other!

I'm wondering if Emmeline Vance or Hestia Jones, of the Advance 
Guard, were her friends. Lupin said quite a few people volunteered 
to accompany Harry back to Headquarters--maybe these two women had 
never seen Harry and that's why they volunteered.
