Your father was the best friend I ever had.
if you think that professor mcgonagall didn’t love james potter then let me just explain to you how wrong you are because among james’ many talents he was really fan-fucking-tastic at two things: quidditch and transfiguration and those just happen to be mcgonagall’s favorite things so guess what he may have been a little shit but he was her little shit and you know she loved every minute of detention she had to chaperone with him
i will still love you

“Where are you heading, if you’ve got the choice?“ “ Gryffindor, where dwell the brave at heart!’ Like my dad… Got a problem with that?”
james’s eyes were hazel, his nose was slightly longer than harry’s and there was no scar on his forehead, but they had the same thing face, same mouth, same eyebrows; james’s hair stuck up at the back exactly as harry’s did, his hands could have been harry’s and harry could tell that, when james stood up, they would be within an inch of each other in height. james yawned hugely and rumpled up his hair, making it even messier than it had been. […] harry stared at wormtail for a moment, then back at james, who was now doodling on a bit of scrap parchment. he had drawn a snitch and was now tracing the letters ‘L.E’
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAMES POTTER
Things James Potter was other than an arrogant bullying toerag:
- A “beloved boy” to Fleamont and Euphemia Potter
- A friend who risked his life every month for Remus Lupin’s safety and comfort
- A brother who took Sirius Black in and was “the best friend he ever had”
- An adored friend of half-giant Rubeus Hagrid, in an age when all “half-breeds” were looked upon with suspicion during the war
- A side of the double act which brought laughter to Madam Rosmerta
- An “all-time favourite student” of Minerva McGonagall, so much so that she waited all day at his son’s future home and wept at his death
- A saviour of his enemies even when they were trying to expose his friends’ secrets
- A Head Boy who was capable enough to be entrusted with the school
- A man so against Dark Magic that at his name being invoked, his loved ones changed their mind about vengeance
- An activist protecting the right of existence for Muggles and Muggle-borns right out of school
- A soldier who faced Voldemort three times and lived to tell about it
- A caring father who went into hiding to protect his son
- A loving husband who sacrificed his life for his family
- A faded trace of magic still trying to guide his son when the man that killed him returned to life
- A patronus helping Harry Potter through his darkest moments until the very end
