The Potter Family post #1  quote:



There has never been mention of James Potter's family, really.
So, why is that? From a recent chat with JKR, she was asked about Harry's grandparents, and she informed us all that they were all dead.

Is there anything special about them?

What are your thoughts?

I think the only thing special about them, is that Mr. Potter was the heir of Gryffindor. I think he was a nice and very wealthy man.

Wasn't once a dicussion in here in which someone said that one of the Potters in the history invented the Golden Snitch, and with it made the family fortune? Or i've read it somwhere else...
It was just a fan-theory, nothing confirmed by JKR, but it's an interesting idea.

It's a theory... and I believe that it was something that Sherry has said.

If no one really wants to claim the idea as their own, I'll take the credit.
Though I'm not smart enough to think of something like that really

I have the feeling that there will be more to the Potters than we can understand right now I'll let time dictate my answer to this thread, and when I get to the point in the book where the truth is revealed, I'll come back here and reveal what I believe to be the true answer having just read it, of course...

That idea or theory was great Maja!Maybe that's why Harry had so much money in his vault.

No,I don't think that we'll find out more about any Potters except harry's parents cause there's not much of anything about the other Potters in all the books so far....................

Ok, I was going to start a new thread but might as well attach this stuff on to an old one, sinces its pretty much in the same topic. What do you guys hope to find out about harrys parents and family in the sixth book. And what suspicions of yours do you have already about the potter family?

and leave me till the time of dying days
stand here by my side
and watch the river flood and pass us by

I think they are direct decendents of Godric Gryffindor. Just somewhere along the line a girl was born and married someone with the last name of Potter. Just my fan theory though! I think some of the others are alot better!
