Family Lineage[]
- "The Potter family is a very old one, but it was never (until the birth of Harry James and Alpha Gerald Lloyd Potter) at the very forefront of wizarding history, contenting itself with a solid and comfortable existence in the backwaters."
- —Early description of the Potters
The Potters were an old and wealthy pure-blood family, descended from their founding patriarch Linfred of Stinchcombe. Linfred was given the nickname 'Potterer', which over the years was corrupted into 'Potter'. The family took on the simplified nickname as a surname, thus leading to future generations calling themselves Potter.
The Potters were also descended from the Peverell family, through Iolanthe Peverell and therefore were related to Ignotus Peverell, one of the three brothers that created the Deathly Hallows, who passed the Cloak of Invisibility down to his descendants as a family heirloom. The Gaunt family were also descended from the Peverells through Cadmus Peverell, another of the three brothers that created the Hallows, who passed the Resurrection Stone down to his descendants as a family heirloom, set in a signet ring. The Potters were thus indirectly related to the Gaunts as well, and by extension Lord Voldemort.
Before the start of the 17th century, some of Harry and Alpha's ancestors migrated to the US. The Potters once held strong ties with the Magical Congress of the United States of America. These ties developed as a result of Abraham Potter being one of the original twelve Aurors of MACUSA. This distant relation of Harry and Alpha's was uncovered by genealogists centuries after Abraham's death.
Two members of the Potter family have held positions on the Wizengamot. The first was Ralston Potter and the second Henry Potter. Harry and Alpha inherited much wealth from their grandparents Fleamont and Euphemia, as Fleamont invented Sleekeazy's Hair Potion, which quadrupled the family gold.
Conversely, Harry and Alpha's mother Lily Evans was a Muggle-born, the first witch in her family. Lily had an older sister, Petunia, who, after Lily's death, was forced to raise Harry and Alpha alongside her son, Dudley Dursley.
As the Potters were considered a pure-blood family, Harry and Alpha were related paternally to various other wizards and witches through families like the: Blacks, Malfoys, Weasleys, and Longbottoms (as well as many other Pure-blood families). Harry and Alpha's only known maternal relatives were the Evans and Dursley families, who were Muggles.
