I've always thought of Lily being

Mainly because I dont like seeing Lily as a loner until she meets James & co.
Even if she wasn't close to the other girls in her dorm (like Hermione with Parvati & Lavendar), I'm sure the other girls wouldn't bully her- they're supposed to be in Gryffindor!!!
I've always imagined that Lily helped the boys out with some of the pranks etc. too- just enough not to get caught!

I've always thought her to be like that. There is something very endearing about someone who keeps to herself but is known anyway...

I don't see her as high profile or very popular. To me she's an intelligent girl with good grades trying to take her place in the wizarding world. She'd have some good friends although I don't see her being very close to the Marauders for her whole seven years at Hogwarts. Just my two knuts. Pommekitty.

She's bookish, sweet, loyal to her friends, but I also imagine her to be more outgoing thatn Hermione and consequentally, more popular [but not overly so].

I voted for this one because I liked the Parallels and I always thought Of (if Lilly was alive) Lilly being Hermoine's Role Moudle (can't spell it lol)

She obviously isn't a Marauder, at least not in my mind, and I like to think that she's friends with the guys before anything sexual happens. I don't really see her as a "bad girl" just because then the professors wouldn't have such a good opinion of her. Besides, for her to get Head Girl and all, she would have to be book smart, as well as having recommendations by professors and colleagues. (I'm of the mind that HG and HB are chosen for more than grades...and certainly on more than popularity, though relations with the student body at large to seem important.) I chose the "bookworm..." one, but I always just saw her as a responsible person. She would have to be well-liked for the whole of the Wizarding World to mourn her death - which they do, if you remember McGonagall talking about the rumors. I'm sure she's not a Mary Sue, but I just can't see her as Miss Popular or the rebel whore. Waffling about, everblue3

what does delusional mean? Group: Member Posts: 289 Joined: 27-February 03 From: New England, US Member No.: 756 Hi! Call me Amanda. :)	I think it's a mix of Adored by all because she tried to be sweet and helpful to everyone and A bit of a bookworm and something of a know-it-all at times, all though she only means well. If that's possible. As many people mentioned already, I do see her being a lot like Hermione. But they have to be a little different, too. (Not that Hermione isn't sweet or helpful, because she is.) So I had to go with none of the above because I couldn't choose between the two. That's just my opinion on how I see Lily. ~Sweet

I don't think she was considered PERFECT (top marks, absolutely gorgeous, most popular girl, etc). And I don't think she was best friends with MWPP either. Sirius&Remus seem to mention James more, rather than Lily. If she was the 'fifth marauder' then you'd think they'd talk about her as much.
