The HR person made a small error in judgment when she gave your phone number to someone believing their non-work-related reason for wanting it. That reason didn't justify giving it away, but perhaps if she knew and trusted the other employee reasonably well she felt the end justified the means.
She made a larger error in judgment when she lied to you about how it happened. Clearly she had second thoughts about having disclosed it and recognized it was against basic employee confidentiality protocol.
I would go to this person's boss and explain that these two things happened in a levelheaded way, and say that while no harm seems to have come from it that it did strike you as odd, and leave it at that. Maybe this is a one-shot, animal lover's peccadillo -- or perhaps it's an ongoing problem. As a manager or as the employer I would want to know that this stuff is happening.
Now common sense and a reasonable approach appears... just when I was having fun ~!~ :thumbsup:
