The Life of Lily Potter Trivia Quiz

Answer: Petunia

Lily lived with her parents and her sister, Petunia. Lily and Petunia used to be very close until Lily found out she was a witch. Lily used to call Petunia "Tuney". Petunia calls Lily a freak on Platform 9 3/4. We see all of this in "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" through Snape's memories in the pensieve. Petunia marries Vernon Dursley and they have a son called Dudley.

After Lily gets killed, Petunia takes in her son, Harry. The Dursleys treat him horribly.

Answer: Severus Snape

Lily and Petunia are in a park nearby their house. Lily is swinging on a swing and jumps off. She doesn't hurt herself, but soars gracefully through the air. Severus Snape is spying on them from a bush. When he sees this, he knows she's a witch. He tells her this but she thinks it's a horrible thing to say.

She thinks he's insulting her. In the end she believes him. She asks him all sorts of questions about the wizarding world.

Answer: Red

Lily's hair is red and her eyes are green. Harry inherits her green, almond shaped eyes. In the epilogue in "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows", Harry and Ginny's daughter is named after Lily. She has red hair too.

Answer: Willow

Ollivander tells Harry this in "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone". Her wand was 10 1/4, willow. He said it was swishy and good for charm work.

Answer: Gryffindor

Lily's best friend at Hogwarts was Snape. At the Sorting Ceremony, when the Sorting Hat shouts "Gryffindor!", Snape groans. He wanted Lily to be in the same house as him and he knew he would be put in Slytherin. Severus and Lily are still friends, even though Gryffindor students and Slytherin students are enemies. People get put in Gryffindor if they are brave and Lily is very brave.

The night Voldemort kills her, she protects her son and dies for him.

Answer: A doe

Lily and Snape's Patronuses are the same. We find this out in "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows". Snape casts a Patronus to show Harry where the sword of Gryffindor is. Snape is talking to Dumbledore's portrait one day. Dumbledore is telling him that Harry must die. Snape gets angry and Dumbledore thinks he cares for Harry. Snape shows him it's Lily he loves by casting his Patronus. Dumbledore knew Lily's was a doe.

Answer: True

In "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" Mad Eye Moody shows Harry a photograph of the original Order of the Phoenix. The Order of the Phoenix was an organization that fought Voldemort. Here is a list of the people that were in the picture: Mad Eye Moody, Albus Dumbledore, Dedalus Diggle, Marlene McKinnon, Frank Longbottom, Alice Longbottom, Emmeline Vance, Remus Lupin, Benjy Fenwick, Edgar Bones, Amelia Bones, Sturgis Podmore, Caradoc Dearborn, Rubeus Hagrid, Elphias Doge, Gideon Prewett, Fabian Prewett, Aberforth Dumbledore, Dorcas Meadows, Sirius Black, Lily Potter, Wormtail and James Potter. Wormtail is in between James and Lily.

They don't know he's going to betray them to Voldemort very soon.

Answer: James Potter

Lily hated James when they went to Hogwarts. She thought he was a showoff and told Snape that he was an arrogant toe rag. James liked Lily and was always trying to impress her. He would ruffle his hair and play with a snitch anytime she got near. He would let the snitch fly away a short distance and then catch it. Sirius Black told Harry that James and Lily started going out in their seventh year.

He said James stopped being such a showoff then. Sirius Black was the best man at their wedding.

Answer: Godric's Hollow

Godric's Hollow is a little village. Muggles and magic people live there. Godric Gryffindor, the founder of Gryffindor house, lived there. Dumbledore's family lived there for a while too. Bathilda Bagshot, the author of "A History of Magic", lived there too. Lily, James and Harry lived in a small cottage there.

When Voldemort was defeated the cottage blew up. Some of it stayed standing. In "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" Harry goes back and visits the house. There is a sign that says Harry Potter defeated Voldemort here. People have signed it, wishing Harry good luck. Muggles cannot see the remains of the house.
