[ If it helps his case at all the idea that more people will see them there isn't really part of James plans. It's not a bad thing as far as he's concerned, of course, but he isn't trying to set her up for some rampant school-wide gossip. Really it's more that he pays attention (arguably took much attention), and he has a pretty good idea of where Lily likes to spend time when she's out with her friends in Hogsmeade.
One of the easiest places to find her? The Three Broomsticks.
Of course that doesn't necessarily mean it's her favorite place, but it's not an unreasonable assumption to make. She can't mind it if she goes there to grab a drink from time to time.
Either way, he'll be patting himself on the back for a job well done and taking a few big steps to catch up and walk alongside her. ]
