Did Lily have any girl friends?

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.

Great comments Jen. I think I remember someone once speculating that 
Lily may have worked at the DoM.  I wonder if they are right?  I also 
wonder if maybe Luna's mom also worked there.  If so, could they have 
known each other?  I know this is probably a coincidence, but both of 
these women died in front of their children, right?  Both were good 
at charms (did I just make that up)?  Did they both experiment with 
old magic they learned while at work?  

I can'y wait to find out the facts about Luna's mom as well.
