I will never be over the fact that Lily Potter was the one who defeated Voldemort in 1981 and she was never given proper credit for it in canon. We barely even know anything about her and she was the one who defeated the snake faced bitch the first time around. It drives me insane. Lily deserved so much better than what the books ever gave her.
#genuinely#like Harry got him the second time it doesn’t finish his heroism to give Lily proper credit for taking him down in round 1#after I was done reading book 5(my favorite of the seven books)#I assumed that we would learn a lot more about lily in the next two books#because she’s definitively a good person and she was the one who defeated Voldemort with her love magic#but no!#we barely hear anything about her from slughorn#and Snape#both two men!#we never hear from her female friends or her male friends who weren’t creeps#petunia only says the “you lost a mother but I lost a sister’’ line in a deleted movie scene#Lily is objectively more important to the story than James and we still know so much more about him#I’m not even lilys biggest fan#I think getting with your former friends bully/the person who SA’d them#is a bad thing#even if that former friend was a bigoted dipshit#and even then I’m still furious for her#harry potter#Lily potter#lily evans#marauders era#post
