 Deb:
 Maybe Snape was attracted to Lily, or maybe "Florence" (if Snape was the one
caught snogging her behind the greenhouse) was in the audience.. 
 
Christina:
Ah, Florence.  I keep wishing that somebody will ask JKR about her, but alas,
nothing.  

Guru:
Being relatively new to the group, I'm wondering if anyone has ever noted that
the Italian city that we know as Florence is known to them as Firenze?

I do know that someone earlier stated that the lily is the symbol of Florence.
That is incorrect, it is the iris.

While we are looking at names, it took me the longest time to connect Sirius,
the dog star, and Sirius Black, the big black dog.  Having made the connection,
I looked up Regulus, which my ancient dictionary noted was sometimes called
"The Heart of the Lion (Leo)". We should all be on the lookout for black lions
walking about in book 7.
