Though it may be silly to respond to myself, I wanted to write a much
shorter response for those who would eschew reading my insanely longer
post.

Lily has been portrayed as almost never wrong.  Good, kind, no
prejudices, and so I wanted to make a point through who she was and
what she said.

Lily's only experience the house of Griffindor was James and Sirius
treating Sirius badly.  Her only experience with Slytherin was what
her friend Severus told her.  But the hat put her in Griffindor.  I
think this shows there is likely more to it than simple choice, but I
welcome other thoughts.

And, a lot of my point has been how these young men grew up.

Lily, as young girl, looked as Sirius with dislike on the train, and
as an adult wrote him a letter she signed lots of love, and addressed
to Padfoot.


As a girl, Lily called James, as a boy, toerag.
As a woman, Lily called James, as a man, husband.

As a girl, Lily called Snape, as a boy, friend.
As a girl, Lily called Snape, as a man, Death Eater.

Just points to ponder.
