What We Learned on Pottermore Today
- 12th Century Wizard Linfred of Stinchcombe (also known as “The Potterer”) created magical remedies for his unsuspecting muggle neighbors.
- He’s credited with creating remedies that would one day evolve into such potions as Skele-Gro and Pepperup Potion.
- The Potters are related to the Peverells through marriage.
- Most, if not all, of the Potter line lived in the West of England.
- The Potter fortune was made by hard work throughout the generations.
- Harry was a FAMILY NAME.
- James’ parents were named Fleamont and Euphemia.
- FLEAMONT.
- Fleamont credited his dueling skills to having to fight people who made fun of his name in school.
- If you’ve any doubt that James is Fleamont’s (FLEAMONT’S) son, the above bullet point is all the proof you need.
- Fleamont invented Sleekeazy’s Hair Potion and sold the company for a huge profit.
- It is likely that Fleamont and Euphemia did not have James until after Fleamont’s retirement.
- Fleamont and Euphemia lived to see their son marry Lily Evans.
- They were ALIVE for the WEDDING.
- But they succumbed to Dragon Pox before Harry was born, dying within days of each other.
- James inherited the invisibility cloak after his father’s death
but we can probably all collectively ignore this point because the marauders need that cloak at school they need it[ source ]
