I know this may sound crazy or stupid, but I have a theory that lily potter might be part fairy, elf, or leprechaun. This might explain her distinguishable and unique eyes. Also, in french the word fairy is translated to fe`e and a part of lily's name is ne`e, which is probably a clue that J.K. threw in there. Also, lily was exceptional in potions and charms and this theory might also explain the large amount of gold that was left for harry( leprechauns and fairies keep large stashes of gold).
This is only a theory . What do you guys think?
She doesn't have to have ALL the characteristics of a fairy. She may have only possessed two or three traits.
From wikipedia:
A fairy, or faerie, is a spirit or supernatural being that is found in the legends, folklore, and mythology of many different cultures. They are generally humanoid in their appearance and have supernatural abilities such as the ability to fly, cast spells and to influence or foresee the future. Although in modern culture they are often depicted as young, sometimes winged, females of small stature, they originally were of a much different image: tall, angelic beings and short, wizened trolls being some of the commonly mentioned fay. The small, gauzy-winged fairies that are commonly depicted today did not appear until the 1800s.

No need for caps. And I go with the thought of elf, really. But Lily and the elf thing is an old theory way way back. I like your theory though, but as Lord Tomahawk said, she was muggle born... as far as we know.

Oh, and that definition of fairies could be different from the way JKR has her own fairies. Just like she has her elves, as far as we know, different from elves in other books.

Lily may well have been muggle born it doesn't mean that grandparents were and also in book one seamus said
"I'm half and half ""me dads a muggle.mam didn't tell him she was a witch 'til after they were married.bit of a nasty shock for him"
so for all we know her mother could have been a fairy a pixie or a goblin she didn't have to tell Lily's father anything hagrid only ever let people know half of him till book 4 so Lily's mother could have hidden who she was out of fear and shame(petunia never would have excepted her)

I'm not really sure about this whole theory thing but it could be true for all we know. And it's nice to see other people think about harry potter as much as I do!
