Discussion: Lily Potter
Questions to Consider
1. What do you deduce about Lily from both what we hear she was like to the glimpses we see in the Prince's Tale?
2. Why do you think Lily is ostracized in the fandom for either being a "perfect Mary Sue" or for "abandoning Snape"? Is it justified?
3. What do you think of Harry's perception of his mother? Is it glorified or is it appropriate?
4. Was Lily unique in her actions at Godric's Hollow or would any mother have done the same? Does this event alter her character or simply reinforce it?
