Lily J. Potter (née Evans) was an English Muggle-born witch, the younger daughter of Mr and Mrs Evans, and the younger sister of Petunia Evans. She learned of her magical nature as a child after Severus Snape recognised her as a witch and told her of the existence of magic. Lily attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry from 1971 to 1978. She was sorted into Gryffindor House and was a member of the Slug Club. She was made Head Girl in her seventh year and began dating James Potter.

After Hogwarts, Lily married James. The couple joined the Order of the Phoenix during the First Wizarding War with their friends Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew.

Relationships

Family:

Evans Family

Lily had a happy home life and a close relationship with her parents. They were very proud to learn that Lily was a witch and favoured her over her older sister, Petunia.

Lily initially had a close relationship with Petunia, with whom she often played. When Lily began demonstrating magical ability, Petunia was "torn between curiosity and disapproval". Her sister was disdainful of Lily's friendship with Severus Snape, the poor wizard who had taken to spying on Lily and informed her that she was a witch. In turn, Snape was quite insulting to Petunia for being a Muggle. When Lily was invited to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Petunia wrote to the headmaster, Albus Dumbledore, requesting that she be permitted to do the same. Although his refusal was kind, Petunia became very bitter and jealously deemed her sister a "freak", even saying that their separation would be better for her safety.

Their relationship seems to have deteriorated greatly and become distant afterwards, especially after they dated and eventually married very different men. Despite the bitterness on Petunia's end, the two sisters appeared to still be in contact when Harry was an infant, and was said to have "smashed a horrible vase Petunia sent [Lily] for Christmas". Petunia also grudgingly took her sister's son, Harry, in, at Dumbledore's request, after Lily's death. However, even as an adult, Petunia resented that her parents were proud of Lily's magical abilities and took out her enmity on Harry.

Evans-Potter family

James Potter, Fleamont and Euphemia's only son, was born late in the couple's lives on 27 March 1960. By that time, his parents were both elderly (even by wizarding standards), but they pampered and cherished their child to the point where he became a proud yet arrogant boy. However, James was still considered a good person.

James attended Hogwarts from 1971 to 1978 and was sorted into Gryffindor like his father. While there, he became the leader of a small gang of Gryffindors in his year known as the Marauders, along with Sirius Black, Peter Pettigrew, and Remus Lupin. He played as Chaser on the Gryffindor Quidditch team and was very aware of his talents.

While at Hogwarts, James met Lily Evans, who was also in Gryffindor. He developed a crush on her, but James was somewhat of an obnoxious youth due to his love of showing off and his exceptional self-confidence. He often hexed other students with Sirius out of boredom, including Lily's friend.

James and Lily were married immediately after Hogwarts, sometime around 1978 and 1979. The wedding was kept very quiet because of the First Wizarding War that was taking place. The war was the result of Dark wizard Lord Voldemort's (a distant Potter relative) rise to power. Voldemort spawned a dark rebellion and gained followers known as Death Eaters. Also, in the fall of 1979, Lily became pregnant with their future son.

The Dark Lord sought to recruit the Potters to his cause as well, possibly due to Snape, who joined the Death Eater ranks and urged his master to do so despite Lily being Muggle-born. However, the couple refused and defied him three times, instead joining the Order of the Phoenix. The Order was an organisation led by Albus Dumbledore, designed to oppose Voldemort's regime directly.
