Actually I find this really funny so let's break this down
Which of the Guardians of Light does Lea actually know going into the final battle?
Sora
Course he knows Sora. Everyone in the organization knew Sora. Keyblade's chosen, major piece of the organization's plans. They developed quite a rapport through the events of CoM, plus on top of that all of Roxas and Xions' personal ties to him. Completely in the loop on who this guy is.
Kairi
Fellow trainee in Merlin's Funny Timespace Distortion. Strongly implied they had several conversations and got to some level of friendship. Before that, he kidnapped her. Definitely acquaintances at the very least.
Donald & Goofy
Sora's funny little guys that went with him through castle oblivion. He's spoken to them a handful of times. Maybe not directly, but you know. They're around. Probably unclear on the details of why they're here, but Lea doesn't sweat the small stuff.
Michael Mouse
First of all, he's a semi public figure who interacted regularly with the king of Radiant Garden, so we cannot discount the possibility that Lea saw him just. Around. When he was a kid. Don't think they ever interacted through the events of CoM or Kh2, but at least might have had one conversation while they were preparing to save Sora from being norted.
Riku
I would argue there's strong evidence Lea has no idea who the hell Riku is. Yes, Riku let him and Namine go in Kh2, but Lea certainly has no idea who that guy was. He was wearing a hood! Also was wearing Ansem's face! They don't talk in DDD because Riku was too eyes on the prize to particularly care about this random guy dropping in during a fight. Lea having any understanding of who Riku is I think hinges entirely on if he poked his nose into Vexen's work on the replica program.
Ventus
Small teenager he had one (1) conversation with over a decade ago with a face identical to one of Lea's best friends. He asks for literally anyone to fill him in on why this is the case, or why this kid seems to have not aged a day in twelve years. No one does.
Aqua
Random woman. Complete 0 idea who this person is. He might have heard someone refer to her using the title "Master" and that's all he's got to go on.
Terra
Even less context than Aqua. They set out to kick Xehanort's ass with nine people in their party, split up, and then when they come back together, they have ten. No one comments on this. Said tenth person has the exact face of Lea's old evil boss. Please take a minute and imagine the sheer level of 'what the fuck' that must have been running through Lea's mind in that moment.
