Harry Potter

Harry Potter was born in 1980 to parents Lily and James Potter. He had a rather happy and ordinary childhood and entered Hogwarts in 1991. Like his parents, he was sorted into Gryffindor.

Harry's personality during his early years at Hogwarts could best be summed up by the word "jock". He was extremely athletic, becoming the Gryffindor seeker during his first year.

When Harry was 14 his mother decided to divorce his father. Divorce is never done in the wizarding world and Lily's actions brought significant shame to their family. Harry placed the blame squarely on his mother for destroying his family life and reputation. Like most of the wizarding community, he saw her actions as a deep betrayal (a sin especially heinous among Gryffindors) and he began to act out. During this phase of his life he used Lily's blood status as a target for his negative feelings, and soon he developed a (shortlived) hatred for non-pure blooded wizards. After an outburst during which Harry called a fellow student a mudblood, he was approached and mentored by Draco Malfoy, who jumped at the opportunity to show the Gryffindor Golden Boy how to think and act like a proper wizard. Although Harry's bigoted days were short lived, he and Malfoy forged a strong bond during their time as friends. By the time the boys entered their fifth year, the tables had turned and Harry's more open minded stance began rubbing off on Draco.

At the Yule Ball of Harry's fifth year, December of 1995, the two became the first 'out' homosexual couple in the history of Hogwarts when Draco and Harry shared a dance. Although their relationship was on-again-off-again during their teenage years, the two married as adults and have two children together, Alice Malfoy (b. 2000) and James Potter (b. 2004).

Also during Harry's fifth year his mother re-married and Severus Snape became his step-father. Eventually it was revealed to Harry that Severus was, in fact, his biological father. Harry, believing actions to be truer than blood, still regards James as his father rather than Severus.

Harry remained close to James his whole life and eventually he and Lily reconciled. Harry has three siblings from his mother's second marriage, Caspian, Felix and Bridget Snape. Harry is distant from his younger siblings mostly due to the 16+ year age gap but he has a very positive relationship with all of them.

Harry participated in the Second Wizarding War as a member of The Order of the Phoenix. During the last battle of the War, Harry fought beside James and was there for his father's final moments.
