Lily - Character Discussion

In celebration of LilyFest starting on Thursday for Lily's birthday. I am putting the character discussion questions for her character thread in @maraudersmayhemblog on Tumblr too.

There are no right answers, please feel free to pick and choose which ones interest you. You can reblog with your own thoughts or write your own post and @lilyfesthp

There's a lot and they're long (I got a bit enthusiastic), so I'm putting them below the cut.

What are your favourite ships for her & why? What are your favourite platonic relationships for her & why?

Marauders Era - Before School

What do you think her childhood was like? How do imagine her parents? Snape’s memory of her as a child, suggests she knew about her magic from a young age and was practicing controlling it effectively without a wand? Compared to other characters do you think this implies she was very magically talented? Why? Why not? 

She also talked to Snape about his home life, as an under eleven, what does this suggest about her character? 

Marauders Era/First War - School

What do you imagine her friendship with Snape was like in their early years at Hogwarts? How do you think Lily felt about him being sorted into Slytherin? What do you think she thought about her own sorting into Gryffindor?

Having been horrified by his of father is somewhat mollified by his glimpse of his mother in OoTP? His mother had been decent. How do you feel about what we see of her?

Slughorn provides us with more information about Lily; One of the brightest I ever taught. Vivacious, you know. Charming girl. I used to tell her she ought to have been in my House. Very cheeky answers I used to get back too.This makes her sound much more like Fred and George than Percy. How do you think she was as a pupil, prefect and Head Girl? What do you imagine her priorities were at school? 

In Snape’s memories the only mention of another girl around Lily’s age is Mary MacDonald. Do you imagine Lily was friends with her? Who else do you imagine she was friends with? 

Marauders Era/First War - Jily

It is clear from OoTP that James fancied Lily and she was not impressed by him when they were in fifth year. Remus and Sirius reassure Harry that James matured and she changed her opinion of him in seventh year. How do you imagine that happened?

Do you imagine James told her about being an animagus? Do you think he told her about the Marauders Map?

What do you think James and Lily’s relationship was like? Sirius describes him as hiding his dislike of Snape better once they got together, does that imply a lack of honesty between them? 

Marauders Era/First War - After School

How did she get into the order? When? What do you head canon she did for them? 

According to extra-canon sources, Voldemort tried to recruit Lily and James? How do you imagine Lily responded? 

What was the first war like for her before the prophecy? Was she scared, proud, regretful, or dutiful about having joined the order? 

Some interpretations see James and Lily as important ideologically and symbolically for the order (the pureblood and the muggleborn in love and harmony). Do you think that’s true? How do you imagine that pressure impacted on their relationship?

James appears to put her on a pedestal, how do you imagine that impacted their relationship? 

We know that she, not James, wrote Sirius a letter in early August ‘81, what do you think her relationship was like with Sirius, Remus and Peter?  

Marauders Era/First War - Harry

Why did Lily and James have child so young in the middle of a very scary war? How do imagine Lily felt once she learnt about the prophecy? 

What do you imagine it was like having a child in such fraught circumstances? 

How do you imagine Lily reacted to motherhood?  

How do you imagine What do you imagine the last thing she thought as confronted Voldemort over Harry’s cot? What are your head canons about her thought/action process?

Canon Era and After

What would she have been like as a mother if she'd lived? 

What job would she have gotten if she'd survived? 

How would James and Lily’s relationship have developed if they had lived? 

What is modern AU Lily like?

How is Lily impacted by the patriarchal viewpoint inherent in the text?
