Never. You can't just go by what the people that thought they knew Lily said. Dumbledore said that Snape could be trusted, and he ended up killing him. Almost everyone thought that Sirius was really a murderer, but he wasn't one. You can't believe everything that everyone tells you. And perhaps the reason that there isn't enough evidence to support me is because JK didn't want to drop too many clues that Lily was something more than what she thought she was ( being just a witch).
I know this thread is old, but I still feel that it is necessary to talk about. JK said that there was more to Lily Potter that we are to find out about in the last book. She even said that there was more to Aunt Petunia than meets the eye. So couldn't it be possible that lily is part fairy or elf or something. If you think about the whole book series, there is underlined message of equalities and inequalities among the different magical races and how they enteract. Even with the races of today, a person could be part African American, part Italian, part Greek, part Native American, and part Asian all in one. Why can't this apply to the wizarding world? Above all else, why can't this apply to Lily Potter?

If she's JUST a mudblood, then why would JK want us to know more about her. Why would JK take the time to describe lily's characteristics, attributes, and even the uniqueness of her eyes. She can't JUST be a mudblood. There has to be more to her than that.
Originally posted by stormloverSo what are you saying, mudbloods can't have anything special about them?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No Phantom. It sounds like that's what you're saying. Hermoine is an excellent witch and she's a mudblood. However, if you were to compare the descriptions of Lily Potter and Hermoine, there is WAY more emphasis on Lily's uniqueness. Especially on her eyes. I'm not saying mudbloods can't be special. It just seems that Lily is a little too special to be just another mudblood.
Originally posted by stormloverI'm the one supporting the thought of something special in mudbloods and you say I'm doing otherwise... ok... Yes, there is something important about her eyes. But I don't think it is she is part something other than a muggle-born witch. If I turn out wrong, I'd gladly say I was wrong. But your not getting any evidence out that she is part anything either way. I highly doubt she is someting else.

Originally posted by Darth MacabreMagic blood would still be in her then. I don't think it'd work that way. I think if a Squib had a child, it would probably either be a Squib or a wizard/witch. The whole thing about her being special was because she was an amazing student for a muggleborn. Esp. at charms. Maybe they keep bringing up her eyes because she did something to them with a charm? Has anyone thought of that? Maybe there is something important about those green eyes that she passed down to Harry because of some charm she performed on herself? It sounds more plausable than her having something else in her.
It doesn't mean that she's not descended from a long line of squibs on one side of the family that simply forgot about their magic over the years. But as for her being part something? No, I hate it.

If I'm wrong, i'll definitely own up to the fact that i'm wrong. And I'll apologize for waisting your time.
