Jen: I like this idea--add in Hestia Jones or Dorcas Meadows with 
Alice and Luna's mom, and Lily may have had her own group of friends 
and allies! That would be a very powerful group from what little we 
know so far: Lily the charms expert, Alice the Auror, Hestia or 
Dorcas the transfiguration experts perhaps, and Ms. Lovegood as the 
mysterious DOM ally? That's a group that could give the Marauders 
some trouble ;). James and Sirius *did* eye Lily's wand 'warily' in 
the OOTP Pensieve scene--maybe they had a bad experience, getting on 
the wrong side of Lily's wand? Hehe. Served them right, no doubt.
