Is there anybody knows?
It seems like she was dead. She never visited Harry. I wonder why. |

It never actually says that her and Mary were friends.

In Deathy Hallows. While Harry was in Snape's memories, she was a girl they went to school with. Lily mentions her twice in his memories, once when she tells of how Mulciber used Dark Magic on her, and again to let Lily know that Snape was outside the common room and threatening to sleep there.

That could make her a person Lily LIKES but does not actually call a FREIND, more like an associate

Agreed. Never once does Lily refer to Mary as her friend. In fact, Lily uses Mary's full name the first time mentioning her to Snape. If she was friends with Mary and friends with Snape, I hardly think a full name would be required, since you would think Snape would know Lily's friends. Especially since she knew who his new friends were.

Isn't it a bit derailed here!!!!
I just want to know
1. what happened to Mary.
2. what happened to Lily's friends. She did have friends, didn't she?
If my best friend and her husband are dead and leaving a baby orphan, I would visit him as often as I can, or even adopt him if I or my family are capble of bringing him up. |

As far as we know Mary wasn't her friend, she is a secondary character used as a plot device.
James and Lily died after high school, so chances are they probably lost contact with some of their friends before their death, if not most. When they went into hiding they probably lost contact with even more of their friends. The war could have taken their toll on others.
After they were killed, Lupin didn't come looking for Harry, either. That was because Harry was sent to live with the Dursleys and the Dursleys didn't want to have anything to do with the wizarding world. They certainly wouldn't have entertained any of his parent's old friends. The Dursleys didn't even want Harry to know the wizarding world existed.

| I just think maybe most of Lily's friends were muggleborn. If they didn't get killed, they went hiding, flew all their way to Scotland, or Ireland or France, or even Australia. |

I heard Rowling used Mary McDonald's name after a child who died of a disease and loved Harry Potter, saw it on another thread...

You're thinking of Natalie McDonald.
And it might have been this forum you read it in, it's been discussed here a few times, here is the most recent thread on it...

Why would they go after her, first? She did Snape a favor by going and getting Lily for him.

Agree. That seems to be a good explanation. |
