What? Lily being part of another species is not something I would find clever or anything. Hell, Hagrid being half Giant is pushing it in my opinion.
But isn't that one of the main themes of the Harry Potter series? Relationships between the magical races and the subject of blood purity?
Originally posted by stormloverBlood purity within the same species, and crossbreeding are two completely different things. It's absurd if you think it's anywhere close to one another. I'm not saying that wizards within the Potter-verse should go out with pitchforks and torches and kill Giants, house elves, and Goblins, but they definitely should not be able to breed with them.

🙁 Why? I think that if you love someone, whether they are a goblin, a giant, or an elf, then you should be with that person. Even if it leads to interbreeding.
Originally posted by stormloverOkay, be with them all you want...but that still does not change the fact that they are of a different species, and therefore have different dna than you. Which makes it quite impossible to breed. I'm against it from a physiological point of view, not a moral or ethical point of view.

Oh ok. sorry 🙂

I know this may sound crazy or stupid, 😮 but I have a theory that lily potter might be part fairy, elf, or leprechaun. This might explain her distinguishable and unique eyes. Also, in french the word fairy is translated to fe`e and a part of lily's name is ne`e, which is probably a clue that J.K. threw in there. Also, lily was exceptional in potions and charms and this theory might also explain the large amount of gold that was left for harry( leprechauns and fairies keep large stashes of gold).clover
This is only a theory 😮 . What do you guys think?
That was a pretty well thought out theory...... BUT Lily's muggle-born. Remember? That's the end of your theory right there. Sorry. 😕
Originally posted by The PhantomPossible to do what? Humans can't even mate with their closest extinct human relations, or their closest living relation. What makes you think it's possible for a house elf, or a goblin to mate with a wizard? And, yes, I know that Flitwick has goblin blood in him, but we were talking about personal preferences.
It is possible to do it, so it is bound to happen.

That may be what she wanted people to believe. Maybe only a select group of people knew about who lily was. Maybe her grandparents were part elf or fairy or whatever and it just skipped a generation.

Well I think that whether or not this is true, it's probably not very important, or Dumbledore would've said something. 😕
Originally posted by Darth MacabreOk, yes you can. Mating is possible. Even on close living relations. It's disguisting, but possible. So your arguement is invalid. People can have sex with other species in the "Potter-verse". It is just I highly doubt Lily's family have any relations with any species because she is a flipping MUGGLE BORN FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!

Originally posted by The PhantomWhat are you talking about? I said humans as a whole, as in an objective opinion, as in the "closest human relation" is Chimpanzees. I didn't mean inbreeding or incest. Humans cannot mate with Chimps, our closest relative in the animal kingdom. Humans cannot mate with Neanderthals, a divergent species of human long extinct. Get what I'm saying now?

Originally posted by Darth MacabreYep. All I got to say is it has happened before. So it's possible. Rowling's book, not mine. 😐

Oh, and I know it's "fantasy" so anything can happen, but in my opinon, a good fantasy novel/story has roots in real life, and has a realistic feel to it.
