Lily Potter
Harry's father. James and his wife, Lily, died when Harry was one year old, trying to protect Harry from Voldemort. Harry admires his father and takes pride any time someone says that Harry looks like James, but this begins to change when Harry decides to enter Snape's memory in the Pensieve. There, Harry sees fifteen-year-old James torture Snape for no reason, show off for girls, and sees that Lily appeared to hate James. Sirius and Lupin explain to Harry that James was good at everything and embarrassingly full of himself, but he became less arrogant in his late teens. James and Lily were active members of the Order of the Phoenix.
