JKR said that in PS, Jame and Lily had turned down Voldemort in the past. She said that he wanted them and they wouldnt come over.

Where is the evidence of this?

Evidence of what? I'm not quite sure what you want evidence of...

The evidence is that Jo said it. She created the stories. There isn't very much info about James and Lily in PS anyway. Also, Voldemort wanted really powerful wizards, and the Potters were extremely powerful. After all, he kept Snape close by, and Snape was extremely powerful, if dangerous to Voldemort's pursuit.


The thing that I never understood about Voldemort going after Lily was the fact that she was muggle-born. I know that he had a lot of half-blood followers, but a muggle-born!

Maybe he was really interested in James and figured they were a packaged deal. For all we know, he asked for Lily just to hurt her. Or perhaps he just wanted to keep his numbers high and knew muggle-born or not, she was a threat and if you can't beat them, trick them into joining you.

I think JKR said Lilly and James spolied Voldemort's plans 3 times same as Frenk and Alisa Longbottom and because of that prophecy which he partly heard he attacked Harry because he was half blooded and Nevile was pure-blooded.He didn't hear whole prophecy and that's why...well you know better then me what happend later when he tried to kill Harry as a baby.

Frank and Alice*, honey. Unless that's how it's spelled in the books you read? I don't know, many different languages and what not.

Did J.K. Rowling ever mention when Voldemort asked for James and Lily to join him? Because if it was sometime after Harry was born and before the death of James and Lily, maybe he just wanted them so he could get to Harry because of the Prophecy. In any case, we all know how history played out instead...

RIP James and Lily! We shall always remember. Crying or Very sad
