    Study Questions from CoS:
  • Lily's relationship with Snape went back a longer time than most people realised. He was her first
    contact with the magical world. How did this impact on Lily and her
    relationship with the magical world and Hogwarts?
  • Could anything have been done by Lily or Petunia to repair their relationship given what we've seen of them as children?
  • Based on the few things we know about Lily, what sort of friends did she have at Hogwarts.
  • According to Lily her friends couldn't understand why she gave Snape the time of day ~ what does this say about her character and the
    friendships that she had with other people?
  • Lily chose not to forgive Snape for calling her "mudblood" - why was this the last straw for her? Do you think she would have reconsidered
    this decision had she lived?

    Other study questions (mostly less serious)
    • Aside from Potions, what do you think Lily's favorite subject(s) are/were?

    • Does Lily have a favorite animal, and if so what is it?

    • What do you think Lily's favorite Muggle band(s) or style(s) of music were?

    • What do you think Lily's favorite movie(s) or genre(s) were?

    • What do you think Lily's favorite TV show(s) or genre(s) were?

    • What do you think Lily's favorite Muggle book(s), author(s) or genre(s) were?

    • If Lily ever played video games and/or pinball, what do you think her favorite one(s) or genre(s) were?

    • Can Lily swim? Does/would she like it at all? What kind of bathing suit does she choose?

    • If you had to pick an actor to play Lily, who would you pick?

    • If Lily played Monopoly, what token would she pick?

    • What do you think Lily's Animagus would be (did her Patronus doe change in response to James's stag and being in love with him, and if so what what was her Animagus)?

    Nice questions for a Lily thread :D

    Lily's relationship with Snape went back a longer time than most people realised. He was her first contact with the magical world. How did this impact on Lily and her relationship with the magical world and Hogwarts?

    - Hm... hard one. But at the time they got to know each other, Snape was relatively "open" towards Lily regarding the magical world and such. He probably explained more than we directly read and his former opinion on the fact that Lily's muggleborn probably made Lily think the magical world is relatively open and tolerant. Or maybe it didn't have too much impact. Not sure.

    Could anything have been done by Lily or Petunia to repair their relationship given what we've seen of them as children?

    - No. Unless there would be a way to make Petunia magical.

    Based on the few things we know about Lily, what sort of friends did she have at Hogwarts.

    - Normal ones. Except for Snape.

    According to Lily her friends couldn't understand why she gave Snape the time of day ~ what does this say about her character and the friendships that she had with other people? 

    - It says that she didn't really care what others thought about her choices, even if those other people were friends. Every friendship was individual and not based on another one.

    Lily chose not to forgive Snape for calling her "mudblood" - why was this the
    last straw for her? Do you think she would have reconsidered this decision had she lived?


    - Another thing I'm not sure about. But considering mudblood is the N-word of the magical world it definitely had some impact. It made Lily realise how much her (probably best) friend changed. Or how hypocritical he may have been. And I don't think she would have reconsidered anything under normal circumstances.

    Now to the less serious part...

    Aside from Potions, what do you think Lily's favorite subject(s) are/were?

    - Charms

    Does Lily have a favorite animal, and if so what is it?

    - A dog would fit her... could even imagine her family having one.

    What do you think Lily's favorite Muggle band(s) or style(s) of music were?

    - No idea at all.

    What do you think Lily's favorite movie(s) or genre(s) were?

    - Whatever was popular at the time.

    What do you think Lily's favorite TV show(s) or genre(s) were?

    - Documentations on foreign cultures.

    What do you think Lily's favorite Muggle book(s), author(s) or genre(s) were?

    - Don't really imagine her to be that much of a reading person to have a favourite book or genre.

    If Lily ever played video games and/or pinball, what do you think her favorite one(s) or genre(s) were?

    - Again... don't think she had any favourite ones.

    Can Lily swim? Does/would she like it at all? What kind of bathing suit does she choose?

    - Yes on both. About the attire... blind guess... a teal bikini.

    If you had to pick an actor to play Lily, who would you pick?

    - Depends... although the age doesn't fit, I'm fine with her grown-up actress. As child? Don't know.

    If Lily played Monopoly, what token would she pick?

    - What kind of question is that?

    What do you think Lily's Animagus would be (did her Patronus doe change in
    response to James's stag and being in love with him, and if so what what
    was her Animagus)?


    - A horse.
