Claudia:
Now this is something that I don't see at all (though from all we 
know I would easily buy LOLLYPOPS). I have problems seeing Lily ask a 
favour from a boy she knows has a crush on her. Even if she did ask, 
what would Snape gain from it? He would do it only, if he thought it 
would make him look better in her eyes. But in their seventh year, 
when James became Head Boy and got the girl, what would stop him from 
speaking out then?

Compared to this a Dumbledore makes more sense for me, saying 
something like, "You don't tell anybody that Lupin is a werewolf and 
I don't tell anybody that I had to use a very ancient incantation to 
heal Remus (or James or Sirius) from your Sectumsempras."

Well, only 1,5 years of speculation left  ;-)
