MISCELLANEOUS : PARALLEL COUPLES
-------------------------------------------

Couple:
Lily Evans Potter & James Potter From: Harry Potter Site: --- +++++++++++++ This is one of the couples that parallels P/A more in a thematic way than in the actual interaction of the characters. There is a small bit of a similarity in that James was quite smitten with Lily fairly early on, whereas it took quite some time for Lily to warm to him. (Of course, with P/A, that warming had more to do with age than the girl finding the guy an obnoxious, arrogant jerk at first. ;-)) James himself was a talented, very cocky young man with a gift and love for flying that he would pass on to his son, and Lily was a beautiful, strong-willed, brilliant young student. As said, the parallels are more symbolic/thematic. They're the parents of the series' main protagonist, who that protagonist never knew, and never learned anything about until adulthood. All that was known at first was that they had had a son, and been brutally murdered by the wizard it would become their son's destiny to destroy, other bits of their history gradually revealed over time. |

Lily and James' romance was the young love that took root in a time of
great upheaval for their world, when both were key players in fighting a
war that would ultimately reshape that world and that neither would live
to see the end of. It was a happy life together cut short in the most
brutal way possible, leaving their infant child an orphan who would grow up
knowing next to nothing about them.
Cut short though it was, Lily and James' love still produced Harry, a child of prophecy with a great (yet burdensome) destiny to fulfill, as the one who would save the wizarding world once and for all from the terror that took away his parents and has long cast a shadow of fear on that world. Both Lily and James sacrificed themselves in the hopes that their child would survive, as Anakin did for Luke and that Padmé would most definitely do for her children as well. |
