My daughter is 5.5 and is the same way. I love her kind heart, but she can be quite the doormat at times. I try to remember that the same kind heart that makes her the "weaker" child in the social circle also makes her the loving, giving older sister. She is also the one kid a teacher can depend on to be paired with an "unpopular" kid and not complain. She treats everyone as her equal.
We have had some issues with girl drama and bullying. I found this book to be very helpful:
http://www.amazon.com/Stand-Yourself-Your-Friends-Bossiness/dp/1593694822/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1369241370&sr=8-3&keywords=american+girl+friends
This book has helped give her some ideas of what to say/do if she is feeling manipulated, and to spot manipulative behavior in first place.
Check out Stand up for yourself (and your friends). It's an American Girl book about dealing with bullies and it is targeted at your daughter's age group.
I think that at this age, they're trying to figure out the whole social aspect of being friends and sharing/getting along/working through disagreements. Being best friends one minute and fighting the next is natural at this age. They're learning that they're not always right, the winner, or the center of attention.
Work with your daughter to stick up for herself and assert her likes/dislikes and help her keep communication open so that she feels comfortable coming to you for advice or letting you know if the bullying gets worse.
Other than that, if you are really concerned for safety, then by all means protect your family and minimize contact by no longer offering to watch her. However, they will still meet at school, so establishing a way for your daughter to handle her and bullies in general is very important.
