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 recognized 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. In her seventh year, she was made Head Girl and began dating James Potter.

After Hogwarts, Lily married James. Along with their friends Hermione Granger, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew, the couple joined the Order of the Phoenix during the First Wizarding War. She and her husband defied Lord Voldemort himself three times. Shortly afterward, Lily and James had a son, Harry James Potter, of whom they made Sirius the godfather and Hermione the godmother.

However, Hermione told them about a prophecy that was made concerning Lord Voldemort and their infant son. It referred to a boy who would be born at the end of July 1980, who had the power to defeat Lord Voldemort. Hermione warned them that Pettigrew was a true traitor who had given out their location to the Dark Lord and the Potters were forced to move again to somewhere else.

After Hermione told them where the Dark Lord's Horcruxes then they managed to destroy all of them and defect the Dark Lord finally. Potter's life was normal and the future was saved. Lily got pregnant again with a second child and gives birth a daughter named Liliana.

Relationships

Family:

Parents

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 apparently favored her over her older sister Petunia.

Siblings

Petunia Evans

Lily initially had a close relationship with Petunia, whom she often played with. When Lily began demonstrating magical ability, Petunia was "torn between curiosity and disapproval". Her sister was disdainful of the friendship Lily struck up 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 afterward, 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".

Children

Harry James Potter

On 31 July 1980, Lily and James' first and only son, Harry, was born. They loved their son more than anything, hiding for months so he could survive the prophecy concerning his fate with Lord Voldemort. After Hermione tells them who is a traitor, they manage to prevent everything and go hide somewhere else.

Liliana Potter

Liliana was Lily and James' second child and only daughter after Harry was born.

As a toddler, Liliana is a cheerful, imaginative child, with a close bond to her brother Harry.

Romantics:

James Potter

Lily's relationship with James Potter was initially a volatile one. They first met on the Hogwarts Express just before the start of their first year at Hogwarts, at which time Lily was angered by James' and Sirius Black's mockery of her best friend, Severus. Although James was a talented Quidditch player and well-liked by most, Lily considered him an "arrogant bullying toerag" and treated him with contempt, mostly for his bad habit of hexing innocent students for fun and his hostile relationship with Snape. However, she didn't hate James, admiring how he stood up for his friends and other people who were cruelly treated by aspiring Death Eaters.

By his fifth year, James started to have romantic feelings for Lily and would show off to try to impress her, without success. It is not known whether he asked her out more than once. It seems that, by that time, James had "deflated his head a bit" and "stopped hexing people for the fun of it".However, it is implied that James still had the desire to bully Snape, but was willing to stop doing it for Lily's sake.

By her seventh year, Lily began to give James a chance and eventually grew to fall in love with him as well. The two had similar positions in Hogwarts as Head Girl and Head Boy. Shortly after their graduation, Lily married him and joined the Order of the Phoenix with their friends, fighting at his side several times. They eventually had a child, Harry James Potter. Her Patronus took the shape of a doe, while her husband's was a stag.
