Every individual molecule that is not in a default group like Protein in the 
system is given its own group.  The fact that DPPC does not show up in your list 
suggests to me that you have no DPPC in your coordinate file.  Sounds to me like 
you're using an .mdp file designed for membrane protein MD when you don't have a 
membrane present.
