"Now, the important thing about Harry's mother - the really, really significant thing - you're going to find out in two parts. You'll find out a lot more about her in book five, or you'll find out something very significant about her in book five, and you'll find out something incredibly important about her in book seven." – J. K. Rowling

What is this important thing?! It's driving me nuts! I don't even have a theory for it, and I need a good one to stop me speculating, because speculation practically drives me over the edge!

So, if you've got a good theory, please help me out here...

And here's another thing she said: "Why did Dumbledore have James' invisibility cloak at the time of James' death, given that Dumbledore could make himself invisible without a cloak? There IS a significant - even crucial - answer."

Any theories would be most welcome....?

Lily and James hid under the inivisibility cloak, ran away and were safe from Voldie.
o-o
NUU~.
I wasn't being serious.
Invisibility Cloak.
Maybe in some way, Lily and James are still alive. Like.
Nuu~, killing curse.
Bodies.
Way to ruin my theory.
The only thing I can connect the cloak to is the veil. OOOH. NEW THEORY NEW THEORY.
Maybe, when Voldemort blasted them with the killing curse, they like. Went through the cloak, like Sirius went through the veil, and since it's invisible... they could... uh.
No.
That's not a very good theory, and I know it's wrong, but that's all I've got for now. I will still guess it has something to do with the veil... GASP.
MAYBE THE VEIL THAT SIRIUS WENT THROUGH AT THE MINISTRY WAS THE CLOAK.
. . . But then again, what does that have to do with Lily and James? And, on the other hand, Harry wearing the cloak would've made him go through it, technically... then again, no. Unless he leaned backwards against it.
Forget it, I'm completely stumped.

I think we'll find out more about how and why lily fell for James. I think we'll also learn more about her skills as a Witch. We knew she was good at Charms and Potions, so what else was she good at.

I think someone in the Order was under cloak at the Potters house. They returned it to DD who gave Harry it. I don't think I'd like to venture a guess as to who it was

The note said, that James had left the cloak in DD's possession.

Ok, the cloak might be very significant but I can't think of a theory. I'll need a few days to think it over.

I think it's very significant that Harry has her eyes. And it's also significant when Harry looks in the pesieve when he's taking lessons from Snape and he sees his mom defending him. Maybe she was in love with Snape or something but then why did she marry James. Ooh, I'm so confused.

I do not think that Lily had a thing for Snape, not at all. Maybe snape had feelings for her, but they were not mutal feelings.

Was this the same thing as harry had seen earlier in the book was dumbledoore there too perhaps invisible or this is a wild theory but probably totally rubbish is dumbledoore harry from the future

I'm sorry, what? Spelling helps. In this case, you really needed to punctuate, too. I had no idea where the sentences ended and therefore couldn't understand. Not to be mean about punctuation or anything, when it comes to this though, I can't help myself, really.
o-o Isn't that off topic, too? And as for Dumbledore being Harry from the future, no, J.K confirmed that he in fact, is not.
