James Potter

On the night of the Potters' murder, James Potter, relaxing after playing with his 1-year-old son while Lily took him off to bed, was the first to see Voldemort coming.

Rowling describes James as having hazel eyes and a slightly longer nose than Harry's but otherwise the same thin face, same hands, same untidy black hair sticking up at the back, and (nearly) the same height as his son during their school days. He was born 27 March, 1960 and attended Hogwarts 1971 to 1978 where he was in Gryffindor. In Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban it is revealed that James's best friends were Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew, and that the four were known as The Marauders. They gave themselves nicknames: Remus was "Moony", Sirius was "Padfoot", James was "Prongs", and Peter was "Wormtail". They illegally became Animagi in order to keep Remus company when he involuntarily transformed into a werewolf in the Shrieking Shack. Sirius became a black dog, James became a stag, and Peter became a rat. Harry's patronus takes the form of a stag, clearly a likeness of "Prongs", his father.

Characters in the books often comment on the personality of James. Severus Snape considers him "exceedingly arrogant" whereas Remus calls him "the height of cool", and Sirius decribes him as "sometimes an arrogant little berk". Scenes from James's years at Hogwarts indicate that he did bully Snape. In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, after seeing Snape's memories of James within a pensieve, Harry agrees with Snape's assessment of his father's arrogance; the revelation leaves Harry deeply depressed and disheartened.

In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, via Snape's dying memory, Harry witnesses James meeting Snape (and Sirius) for the first time when they board the Hogwarts Express. James, who despises the Dark Arts, displays clear hostility toward Snape and the latter's hope that he and Lily will both be sorted into Slytherin. Even so, James decides that Sirius is "all right", though he learns that the entire Black family has been in Slytherin. Snape, for his part, thinks that James is silly to want to be in Gryffindor, since he believes that students in that house are "brawny but not brainy". According to J.K. Rowling in a recent interview: "James always suspected Snape harboured deeper feelings for Lily, which was a factor in James’ behaviour to Snape". ^[1] “HP7” redirects here. ...

At Hogwarts, James was a brilliant student, and in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, he is said to have become Head Boy, although in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix it is said that Remus was a prefect, not James. (He may have become Head Boy by his seventh year with maturity and the growth of responsibility and common sense.) He was also a player on the Gryffindor Quidditch team. In the film version of Philosopher's Stone, Harry and his friends find James' name listed on a plaque as a Seeker on his Quidditch team; however, J.K Rowling stated in an interview that he was in fact a chaser.^[2] He was shown playing with a Golden Snitch outside of games and practices^[HP5], ostensibly to show off, and he apparently had a habit of rumpling up his hair to suggest that he had just stepped off a broomstick.

Lily Evans

While at Hogwarts, James met his future wife Lily Evans (30 January, 1960 – 31 October, 1981), who was also in her first year. Lily's wand was 10¼ inches, made of willow, swishy and excellent for Charms. She is described as having had startlingly green almond-shaped eyes and thick, shoulder-length dark red hair. According to Professor Slughorn, Lily had a natural and intuitive ability at Potions and was very brave, very funny and very charming; he could not imagine that anyone who had met her would not have liked her. She became a member of the Slug Club, which was run by Slughorn for promising students (and people with prestigious connections). Lily was also very pretty, and it is evident that James was very taken with her, at least since their fifth year. This article is about the Harry Potter series of novels. ...

Lily was Muggle-born, and at home, her sister Petunia despised her for being a witch and viewed her as a "freak." Petunia was, however, envious of her sister's abilities and of their parents enthusiasm and interest in the wizarding world. In Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone Petunia tells Harry that, "But for my mother and father, oh no, it was 'Lily this' and 'Lily that', they were proud of having a witch in the family!"

Petunia did not care for James, as demonstrated by her snide remarks and references throughout the series. There is, however, one remark that Petunia makes about a young male wizard that is misinterpreted by Harry to mean his father. In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Petunia hears someone ask what a Dementor is, to which she responds, "They guard the wizard prison, Azkaban". When the startled Harry and Petunia's husband and son express surprise at her knowledge of this magical information, she responds that she once heard "that awful boy" telling Lily about Dementors. Harry angrily retorts that if she's going to talk about his parents, she could at least use their names, but she does not respond. It later transpires that the "awful boy" was not James but rather Lily's childhood friend, Severus Snape. He had told Lily that "Dementors guard the wizard prison, Azkaban", and Petunia, overhearing the exchange, had remembered Snape's remarks. OotP redirects here. ...

The old, pre-Hogwarts friendship between Lily and Snape is fully revealed in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, along with the fact that Snape harboured unrequited romantic feelings for Lily from their first childhood meeting. Rowling makes it clear that Lily might have returned these feelings if Snape had not become so seriously involved in the Dark Arts. During their early years at Hogwarts, Lily expressed her concerns about Snape's attraction to these arts and about his choice of friends. Already strained, their relationship ended in their fifth year at Hogwarts, when Snape, in a moment of humiliation, unthinkingly called Lily a Mudblood after she had defended him against James and Sirius. Afterwards, Lily, pointing out that Snape's other, friends felt similarly about her parentage, ended their friendship, despite Snape's desperate attempts to apologise for the incident. Subsequently, Snape refuses to utter the word Mudblood and hates hearing it used, as shown in Book 7, when Phineas Nigellus refers to Hermione Granger as a "Mudblood". “HP7” redirects here. ...

In the wake of the breach with Lily, Snape becomes a Death Eater and informs Lord Voldemort of an overheard prophecy, which Voldemort takes to refer to Lily and her son, Harry. Fearing for Lily's life, Snape joins the Order of the Phoenix as a spy for Albus Dumbledore, in exchange for what he hopes will be Dumbledore's protection of Lily and her family. This hope fails when, despite Snape's pleas that she should be spared, Voldemort kills Lily because she refuses to step aside so that he can murder Harry. After Lily's death, Snape is persuaded by Dumbledore to devote his life to protecting Harry in order to honour the sacrifice of the woman he never ceases to love. Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore is a fictional character within the Harry Potter series written by British author J. K. Rowling. ...

Lily was Head Girl in her final year at Hogwarts. For most of the time they were students, Lily regarded James as an arrogant bully, and she and James addressed each other only by their surnames. However, James was shown doodling Lily's initials during an examination in their fifth year, and Sirius recalled that he couldn't resist showing off (and making a fool of himself) whenever she was around. Lily herself expressed contempt for his behaviour, looking at him with "great dislike" and calling him "an arrogant bullying toerag". After he asked her out in their fifth year, she replied that she wouldn't go out with him if it was a choice between him and the giant squid and remarked that, "I'm surprised your broomstick can get off the ground with that fat head on it. You make me SICK!" From this, Harry gathered the impression that Lily hated James, but Sirius and Lupin assured him that she didn't hate her future husband, they "simply got off on the wrong foot". Head Boy and Head Girl are terms commonly used in the British education system. ...

Lupin told Harry that after James matured and changed his attitude, Lily started dating him in their seventh year. They married soon after leaving Hogwarts with Sirius acting as best man at their wedding. It is not known what careers, if any, they pursued after leaving school. Rowling said in an interview that "James inherited plenty of money, so he didn't need a well-paid profession".

Though Harry bears a great resemblance to his father, it is often noted that he has Lily's eyes. In a 1999 interview, Rowling stated that, "Harry has his father and mother's good looks. But he has his mother's eyes and that's very important in a future book". ^[3] That "future book" was Deathly Hallows. In Snape's death scene in that novel, after having passed his memories to Harry, he whispers to Harry: "Look... at... me..." His dying wish, it appears, is to see the green eyes that Harry had inherited from Lily one last time. In one of Snape's memories, it is revealed that Dumbledore convinces Snape to protect Harry after Lily's death by mentioning the fact that he has "precisely" the same eyes as his mother.

In the epilogue of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Harry has a daughter who is named after Lily and a son named Albus Severus. Albus is named for Dumbledore, but his middle name honors the man who loved Lily Evans so much that he dedicated his life to protecting her son and ultimately lost his life in the attempt. It is also mentioned that Albus is the only one of Harry's three children to have inherited Lily's green eyes.

Rowling stated on her site that Lily did receive warning letters for testing the limits of the statute of secrecy ^[4]. Lily's patronus is a doe, presumably to pair with James' animagus shape of a stag. Severus Snape also has the doe as his patronus, to match Lily's.

Lily could have saved herself when her family was attacked by Voldemort, since he offered her the chance to step aside while he killed Harry. This was shown in a flashback sequence during Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. Voldemort's single motive for offering to spare Lily's life at the request of Snape is revealed in the seventh book, but Lily refused and Voldemort killed her. The result of her selfless act of love was to invoke an ancient magic that gave Harry an innate defence against Voldemort (Rowling has stated that Lily did not know that this would happen because "it never happened before"). This magic manifested itself two ways: First, when Voldemort attempted to kill Harry with the Killing Curse, Avada Kedavra (which had never before been survived), the spell backfired, rendering Voldemort non-corporeal. Asked whether there was anyone else present in Godric's Hollow on the night the Potters died, Rowling replied, "No comment". ^[5] However, Voldemort did consider killing a muggle boy who believed his appearance to be due to a Halloween costume.

The lingering protection afforded to Harry by Lily's sacrifice rendered Voldemort unable to physically touch him. In Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Professor Quirrell, acting as host to Voldemort, attempted to attack Harry to gain the Philosopher's Stone. He was prevented from stealing the Stone because coming into contact with Harry's skin severely burned him, causing great pain. Harry realised this and used it to his advantage until Dumbledore arrived. Quirrell died soon afterwards, leaving Voldemort forced to return to his non-corporeal state. Voldemort has since overcome this inability to touch Harry by using Harry's blood to regenerate his own body. However, when Harry tells Dumbledore this, he thinks he sees, for a fleeting instant, something like "a gleam of triumph" in Dumbledore's eyes. Harry thinks he must have imagined it though, for Dumbledore merely says "Very well, Voldemort has overcome that particular barrier" When asked about the gleam of triumph, J. K. Rowling says, "That's still enormously significant. And let's face it, I haven't told you that much is enormously significant, so you can let your imaginations run free there". ^[6] In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, after Voldemort uses the Killing Curse on Harry, Albus Dumbledore tells him that as long as his blood, with Lily's protection in it, still lives in Voldemort, Harry's life is protected by it.

The second way in which Harry is protected by Lily's sacrifice occurs at the Dursley residence in Little Whinging. Harry was taken in by Lily's sister, Petunia, who is married to Vernon Dursley. Dumbledore told Harry that he had extended Lily's protection to the home where Lily's sister Petunia lived. This was possible because Lily and Petunia are related by blood. As long as it continues to be Harry's home, Voldemort cannot harm Harry there. This protection ends when Harry comes of age at 17. Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

In the graveyard at the end of the American edition of book 4, James comes out of Voldemort's wand first when the wands connect. On her website^[7], J.K. Rowling addresses this issue: "Lily first, then James. That’s how it appears in my original manuscript but we were under enormous pressure to edit it very fast and my American editor thought that was the wrong way around, and he is so good at catching small errors I changed it without thinking, then realised it had been right in the first place. We were all very sleep-deprived at the time".

In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows when Harry goes off to die at Voldemort's hands he uses the Resurrection Stone to summon the spirits of Lily, James, Sirius and Lupin. They come back as "more than ghost but less than flesh" and tell him that they are proud of him. The four of them escort him to Voldemort, and when he drops the Resurrection Stone, they disappear. Their presence gives him the courage to do what he needs to do. “HP7” redirects here. ...

Also in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Harry visits their tomb in the graveyard in Godric's Hollow where the phrase "The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death" is engraved upon the tombstone. This phrase is from the Bible, 1 Corinthians 15:26.

Mr and Mrs Potter

Harry's paternal grandparents are rarely mentioned in the books. However, while looking at a family tapestry in Order of the Phoenix, Sirius states that he stayed with the Potters after running away from home at 16, and they treated him as a second son.

According to J. K. Rowling, James was a pampered, only son, probably because his parents were older when he was born. This may also explain why they only had one child. Both were old when they died, succumbing to a wizarding illness.^[8] Their deaths occurred sometime before James and Lily were killed by Voldemort - 31 October 1981 - as Harry's only living close relatives were the Dursleys at that time. Rowling has also said that Harry's considerable inherited fortune came to him via the Potters. Joanne Jo Murray née Rowling OBE (born 31 July 1965[2]), who writes under the pen name J. K.

The Potters were pure-bloods (up until Harry, who is a "half-blood"), and before having children of his own, Harry was the last of their line. Rowling has stated that Harry has no living relatives apart from the Dursleys. However, all wizards are inter-related to some degree.

Mr and Mrs Evans

Harry's maternal grandparents were Muggles, as was their daughter, Petunia. Their other daughter Lily turned out to be a witch. They were said to be "proud to have a witch in the family", which caused Petunia to become bitter and jealous. Mr. and Mrs. Evans made their first and only appearance in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, in one of Snape's memories, looking in astonishment and excitement at Platform 9¾. J.K. Rowling has also said that Mr. and Mrs. Evans died "ordinary muggle deaths". “HP7” redirects here. ... Severus Snape is a fictional character in the Harry Potter book series written by J. K.

Gaunt-Potter relationship

The Gaunt Family and the Potter family share a Peverell ancestry, making them distantly related.^[9] It is believed that the Potters were descended from the youngest brother, Ignotus Peverell, due to their possession of the Invisibility Cloak, while it is believed that the Gaunts were descended from Cadmus, the middle brother. This is due to their ownership of the Resurrection Stone. Thus, Harry Potter and Lord Voldemort are very distantly related.
