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 essence as a youth after Severus Snape identified her as a witch and revealed to her 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 wed James. The couple merged the Order of the Phoenix during the First Wizarding War with their friends Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew; however, they uncovered, through their new friend and ally, Hermione Granger, that Pettigrew was working for Voldemort, and they were propelled to hide elsewhere.

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 prejudiced her over her older sister, Petunia.

Lily originally had a close relationship with Petunia, with whom she constantly played. When Lily began demonstrating magical ability, Petunia was "torn between interest and dislike". Her sister was scornful 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 entirely 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 rejection was considerate, Petunia became very sore and jealously considered her sister an "abnormality", even saying that their split would be better for her protection.

Their relationship seems to have worsened significantly and become distant afterwards, especially after they dated and eventually wed other men. Despite the irritation on Petunia's end, the two sisters appeared to still be in communication when Harry was a newborn, and were said to have "broken a dreadful vase Petunia sent [Lily] for Christmas".

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 a 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 an infatuation with her, but James was somewhat of an offensive youth due to his love of showing off and his exceptional self-trust. He often hexed other students with Sirius out of lethargy, including Lily's friend.

James and Lily were wed immediately after Hogwarts, sometime around 1978 and 1979. The wedding was kept very serene because of the First Wizarding War. The war resulted from the rise to power of the Dark wizard Lord Voldemort (a distant Potter relative). Voldemort sired a dark revolution and gained supporters known as Death Eaters. Also, in the fall of 1979, Lily became pregnant with their future son.

The Dark Lord desired to conscript the Potters to his cause as well, conceivably due to Snape, who joined the Death Eater ranks and urged his master to do so despite Lily being Muggle-born. However, the couple rejected him and fought him three times, rather joining the Order of the Phoenix. The Order was an alliance led by Albus Dumbledore, designed to fight Voldemort's government directly.
