Oh, I don't know, maybe we shouldn't compare uncontrolled children's 
magic with "real" adult magic. This kind of "flying" happened not 
only to Lily, but to other kids too.

Remember Neville's uncle Algie who hanged the poor boy out of the 
window by the ankles, and then accidentally let go? Neville didn't 
hit the ground, he "bounced", in his words - some kind of levitation, 
maybe? 

Even Harry once found himself on the roof of the school, when Dudley 
was chasing him. I don't know if it was levitation or maybe something 
else, like spontaneous apparition, but anyway ... . I don't think 
these "childhood accidents" show that a person will be more capable 
of flying later in life then others. But I could be wrong of 
course  :-).
