My thoughts exactly. In fact, it's not just every theory that seems  
to think this of Lily Potter -- JKR's dropped some hints that she was  
universally liked and could do no wrong. Only the fact that she was't  
terribly nice to Snape in his "worst memory" saves her from being a  
complete Mary Sue.
