Charlus Potter

Charlus Potter was a wizard who married Dorea Black. The couple had one son. Because Dorea was not disowned by her family, who believed strongly in the importance of blood purity, for her marriage, it can be assumed that Charlus was a pure-blood wizard.

He may have been related to James Potter, and, by extension, Harry Potter. There is some speculation that Charlus Potter was Harry Potter's grandfather. However it is said that James Potter's parents died of natural causes when they were elderly, presumably around the same time. There is no mention of Dorea Black's death, which would have occurred when James was seventeen and she was fifty-seven. It is possible that Charlus and Dorea Potter were James Potter's aunt and uncle, or are more distant relations.
