Lily Evans Fun Facts




 * "Your mother was there for me at a time when no one else was. Not only was she a singularly gifted witch, she was also an uncommonly kind woman. She had a way of seeing the beauty in others even, and perhaps most especially, when that person couldn't see it in themselves."
 * —Remus Lupin talking to Harry Potter about Lily Potter [src]

Lily Evans
Lily Potter (née Evans) was a amazing witch. Sadly, she died when she was only 21. There are many things people never got to know about her, but we know as much as we can. She was a beautiful woman with thick, dark red hair that fell to her shoulders and bright green almond-shaped eyes. Apparently, her bright green eyes were extremely distinctive, because every person who knew Lily would always see them in Harry.
