Hi All,

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

"Snape Torture" scene, doesn't it have her splashing in the lake with
other girls? <<<
 
Now me (Dumbledad):
Here are the relevant bits from OotP that Moonmyst referred too:
>>>
The sunlight was dazzling on the smooth surface of the lake, on the bank
of which the group of laughing girls who had just left the Great Hall
were sitting, with their shoes and socks off, cooling their feet in the
water.

'Leave him ALONE!'

James and Sirius looked round. James's free hand immediately jumped to
his hair.

It was one of the girls from the lake edge. She had thick, dark red hair
that fell to her shoulders, and startlingly green almond-shaped eyes -
Harry's eyes.

<<<

The impression I get is that Lily was a well balanced, kind, attractive
girl who knew the difference between right and wrong - even applied to
children that nobody liked. It's very hard to imagine that she wouldn't
be very popular. I love Jen's suggestions as to who those friends were
and what became of them.

 

Cheers,

 

Dumbledad.
