Why do we never hear anything about who was Lily's
maid of honor, or whether or not Harry has a
godmother?

But as for Lily's possible friends, and maid of honor,
the two who jump out as being approximately the same
age are Alice Longbottom and Hestia Jones (from the
Advance Guard). We know for sure Alice and Lily 
had much in common, both working to defeat LV, both
newly married with almost identical-age sons.




Julie replies:

I'm going to disagree here. I think that Alice is
older by quite a few years than Lily. I believe it's
been canon that Lily was about 19 when she married, 20
when she had Harry and 21 when she was killed. 

It seems to me she wouldn't have had time to train to
be an Auror. That takes 3 years post Hogwarts. There
just isn't the time. I doubt Auror training is
something you can do pregnant. And going out and
capturing criminals is too risky pregnant.

Further Alice Longbottom and her husband were very
well respected, liked and successful Aurors. It takes
time to build that reputation. I think that they were
married and Aurors for awhile before Neville came
along. I think she's too old to have been Lily's
Hogwart's friend.

In regards to Alice defying Voldemort thrice, she
could have taken maternity leave and then left Neville
with Grandma while continuing to thwart Voldie's
plans.
