Notice I said *first film.* The woman talking to the train station guard before Harry asks about 
Platform 9¾ has long, wavy red hair. She's holding a small child. You don't see her face but 
from the side she looks like Lily - who we have just seen in a flashback also holding a small 
child. If I hadn't read the books I'd think, "Never fear, Harry. Your mum's alive and you're a big 
brother!"
