Lily might not have any idea that Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs might co-exist better with Slytherins.
Come to think of it, she's probably not even aware how the prejudices shown by James and Severus are shared by the general student population, at least/especially those in Gryffindor and Slytherin, and how divisive the house system is in general. (By OotP it "would be suspicious if too many people from different houses talked to each other" - I mean, really?!) Why would she expect problems with having friends in different houses before getting to know life at Hogwarts?
