I'm sorry but there are too many messags to wade through to see if 
anyone has brought this up- but I want to know what the significance 
is of Lily being good at potions? Slughorn mentioned that. It seems 
like the only thing we really learn about her in HBP, so I have to ask 
about it. 

I always thought that she was good at charms and suddenly it's 
potions. Was that a fannon thing, or was it truly canon?

Reply:
This struck me as odd also. It was charms previously, this was the first we'd heard of excellence in Potions but then we'd have to assume she was good in all subjects like Hermione. But Slughorn did say. "Charming girl." Which does imply something huge related to charms.
Also, just about everyone says Lily and James...whereas other couples are usually addressed by the male partner first eg Arthur and Molly Weasley etc
