Background / History

Harry was raised by the Dursley family under the protection of bloodline magic cast by his mother, Lily. Petunia Dursley knew that Harry’s magical heritage and his mother’s death placed him in danger, though she concealed her attachment to Lily behind hostility toward magic. 132

He entered Hogwarts alongside Brook Lott and Hermione Granger, was sorted into Gryffindor, and became closely associated with them and Ron Weasley. 12 13 His scar marks him as the “marked boy” referenced in a prophecy. 353

Harry later learns that a fragment of Voldemort’s soul was left attached to him after the failed Killing Curse, making him a living Horcrux. 500
