General speculations about James / Lilly
Here's some general Speculations about James and or Lilly Potter
 |
• Harry owns a wealth, I suspect being made by the Philospher´s Stone. It can change every metal to gold and it´s very possible, that Voldemort was after this stone before and suspected it at the Potters. Harry´s parents were right in the inner circle of Dumbledore, his father a brilliant sorcerer. (Timo) |
|
• Not from my side, but I heard somewhere that Lily Potter and the Weasleys might have a family connection because both have/had red hair. Maybe the squib-relative Ron mentioned on their first trip to Hogwarts is a grandmother of Harry? (Timo) |
|
• Lily was a Death Eater This is the most common one I've seen…and it's very interesting, and would be an excellent twist to the story. Imagine…Harry Potter, possible heir to Gryffindor, bravest kid in Hogwarts, born to a former Death Eater. But one tiny problem - wasn't she supposed to be a Gryffindor, Head Girl, and very close to Dumbledore? Continuity error, too - Voldemort said she needn't have died, which brings me to my next theory.("Caroline") |
|
• Lily was a Spy There we go…this is one that I agree with. If she was a spy, then Voldemort probably thought she was working for him when she wasn't, but he had to kill her to get to Harry. After all, he shows "just as little mercy to his followers as to his enemies". ("Caroline") |
|
• Lily and Voldemort were in Love Ugh…I highly doubt it…that's really far-fetched, very unlikely, and too Star Wars, thank you very much. ("Caroline") |
|
• T.Riddle was married to James’ mom(whose maiden name was Potter). Mother died of child birth. T.Riddle left. James was left at DD’s doorstep hoping that DD would take James to a safe and kind household. Voldy being "angry" hardened over the years. Only caring about immortality and to receive it he had to kill all living family members. Only James and Harry. Not Lilly. Reasons: - Resemblance: In the second book references is made that Harry looks like T. Riddle & Harry looks like James. Thus, James must look like T. Riddle - Dobby: In second book Harry asks Dobby if Voldy has a brother. Dobby says no with widened eyes. Hinting that maybe Voldy has a SON (JAMES) OR a GRANDSON(HARRY!!!!)! ("DQ") |

• My theory is that although Lily and Petunia are sisters, I think that they have a third sister in Draco Malfoys mum (Narcissa) as they are all named after flowers. . ("Mad H.P. Fan") |
|
• I always found it very strange that she was the only one in her family, who is a witch. Maybe she isn't really Petunias sister, but was adopted when she was just a little child; it would also explain, why Petunia is so jealous; it would be a natural reaction that she was that jealous, for Lily was their parents favourite, eventhough she wasn't their own child as Petunia was! (Sylvana) |

• I think that there is a possibility that Lily could be Voldemorte's daughter. This would mean that Tom Riddle got married after he left Hogwart's but before he left for good to Albania (or wherever he went to transform into Voldemorte). I know its might sound strange to think of Voldemorte being married but lots of really evil people in the world are married. Anyway the question is whether Petunia is his daughter too? It is possible for him to have a muggle child since he was half muggle, himself. Maybe he got married, had 2 children, one muggle, one witch, then his wife dies and that was the final straw for Tom, he abandoned his kids and left the country. Petunia and Lily were adopted by Muggles. Maybe Petunia knew that her father (Tom Riddle) was a wizard, and since he had abandoned them, she not only hates him, but thinks all wizards are bad (Plus, she could have inherited some of his evilness). But it is also Petunia's relationship to Voldemorte that Dumbledore is able to use to protect Harry while he is staying there with them. Even though Dumbledore says Tom Riddle is
the last Heir of Slytherin, it Two more points: 1) Tom Riddle is the right
age to be Lily's father. He Is it the fact that Harry is related to Voldemorte
that makes Voldemorte In the books, it says that we know why Harry
didn't die when Voldemort |

• Since Lily's parents were happy that she received her letter from Hogwarts and someone has already suggested that some witches and wizards could be in hiding appearing as Muggles, couldn't Aunt Petunia possibly be the adopted child of Lily's parents and that Lily is actually a pureblood? This might also explain Aunt Petunia's extreme dislike for Harry, Lily and James. She always felt like an outcast herself or never showed any wizarding skills and was jealous. Also, we do not know the maiden name of Lily and Petunia. There was a suggestion that Lily might have been related to Voldemort, because he really did not want to kill her. If she was a Muggle it wouldn't have bothered him, because he disliked "mudbloods.".(Edie) |
