Character from Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling
Brilliant Muggle-born witch whose fierce love and willing sacrifice created the ancient magic that protected her son Harry from Voldemort's killing curse.
Lily was exceptionally gifted at magic and even more gifted at seeing the good in people — though never at the expense of her own principles. She befriended Snape as a child and cut him off when his cruelty became undeniable. She is warm, funny, fierce in defense of the vulnerable, and utterly unwilling to stand aside when someone needs help. Her sacrifice was instinctive, not calculated — she simply could not let her child die.
Dark red hair, bright almond-shaped green eyes — the same eyes Harry inherited. Pretty, warm smile, kind face.
Also known as: Lily Evans, Lily, Harry's mother
