Early Years (1980-1981)
Harry James Potter was born on 31 July (on the same day that JK Rowling), 1980, parents are Lily and James Potter. The best friend of James Potter, Sirius Black, was the godfather of Harry. Sirius, James and Lily were part of the Order of the Phoenix, a group of magicians who desperately fought against the Dark Lord Volan de Mort. They did not have numerical superiority, but kept fighting, despite repeated losses. James and Lily have three times to avoid death at the hands of Volan de Mort.
Before the birth Harry was made a prophecy that in late July or early August, a boy who can win the Dark Lord, or the Dark Lord will kill him. Under the terms of prophecy approached born July 31 Harry Potter and Neville was born July 30. Lord Volan de Mort heard of the prophecy of his supporter Severus Snape and decided to destroy the child. As his victim Volan de Mort chose Harry. James and Lily learned that Volan de Mort planned to kill Harry, and in October 1981, they used the spell of Allegiance to hide from the Dark Lord. Unfortunately at the last moment,the best friend of James Potter, Sirius Black Potters persuaded instead to choose a keeper Secrets Peter Pettigrew, who was a traitor and a spy Volan de Mort and gladly opened their whereabouts.
Evening, Oct. 31, 1981 Dark Lord appeared in Godrik basin, where muggle hiding under the guise of James and Lily, and attacked them. James tried to protect my family, but died in battle. Dark Lord was going to spare Lily, but she stood in its path, protecting the child. Then he killed her to get to Harry. This is Lily's sacrifice turned into a vital factor for Harry, as was the ancient sorcery, child protection. When Volan de Mort applied Awad Kedavra spell, and it hit in Harry, Lily's sacrificial protection reflected the spell and gave him the opposite effect. Reflected spell almost killed Volan de Mort (knocked the soul from the body), but left a scar on Harry's forehead in the form of lightning. So Harry for a few years stopped Volan de Mort.
The battle between Potter and Volan de Mort turned the house in ruins. Good wizard Albus Dumbledore, director of the School of witchcraft and sorcery Hogwarts sent Hagrid to depression. He managed to save Harry, before it could have started to investigate what happened. At home unexpectedly met Potters Hagrid Sirius Black, who asked that Harry gave him as a godfather of the boy. Hagrid did not agree, because you are Dumbledore's orders. Sirius lent Hagrid his flying motorcycle, so that he could withdraw Harry where the boy was safe.
In the next 24 hours after the incident Hagrid and Harry were still on the road. Dumbledore obviously provide security at the yew-tree outside. Minerva MakGonagall met Dumbledore at the yew-tree street next evening, soon appeared Hagrid a flying motorbike with Harry. Three left Harry at the threshold of the door number 4, the last home of relatives, Harry - Vernon and Petunia Dursley.
Decade of ill-treatment (1981-1991)
The following ten years of Harry's life was full of insults and deprivation. His Aunt Petunia's sister Lily, and his Uncle Vernon madly loved his son Dudley, who indulged in every way, and Harry was kept in a closet, fed scraps, forced to continue wearing old clothes Dudley which was much larger in size, were shouting at him, insulted and beaten. Dudley mercilessly mocked Harry, with the support of parents, as well as their physical strength (Dudley was six times larger in size and thick, while Harry - thin, bespectacled man).
Three times in these years Dursley visited Uncle Vernon's sister, Marge. She received great pleasure from rebuking Harry. She bestowed Dudley expensive gifts and brought Harry anything terrible or even forget about it. Often she would take with him the beloved bulldog Sinister's favor. When Harry was nine, she allowed the dog to drive the boy to a tree, where he had to stay past midnight, while Marge is not recalled dog.
In addition, the uncle and aunt decided to suppress it a magical beginning. They never talked about his true origins. He was told that his parents were killed in a car accident, emerged from the same place and a scar on his forehead. The first rule in the house Dursley was «not ask questions». Their goal was to keep Harry in subjection and oppression in the hope that it will not be able to build on what they considered an abnormal tendency to magic. They sent him to the same school as Dudley, who continued to mock him there. Dudley's pals joined the harassment and other students afraid of Dudley and his cronies avoid contact with Harry.
Despite the efforts of Dursley, Harry managed to show magical abilities. Once, Aunt Petunia was taken out of a wild hair, Harry and she cut their kitchen scissors the next morning, Harry woke up with the newly regrown hair. Another time, Dudley and his gang pursued Harry, who suddenly appeared on the school roof. Harry repainted wig teacher in blue and unrecognizable reduced the ugly sweater Dudley, not to wear it.
For ten years, Harry grew up in a lean, no one desired the boy with the eternally unkempt black hair and narrow face. His eyes, like her mother, were emerald green. He wore a pasted glasses, broken in a scuffle with permanent Dudley. Harry was exceptionally fast, skill formed the constant attempts to avoid injuries cousin.
His life changed dramatically in the summer of 1991. Harry Potter began to receive strange letters, which frightened his uncle and aunt. They destroyed the letter, not allowing them to read Harry, but the letters continued to arrive in ever larger quantities. In an attempt to avoid the letters they eventually hid in a hut on a rock surrounded by sea. Night during a heavy storm, Harry looked at her watch her sleeping cousin, counting the minutes and seconds until his day of its 11 yo. At the same moment as the day of the birth of Harry, Hagrid's hut broke, so was surprised to learn that Harry had no idea of their magical origin.
