Was Lily Potter a gorgon?

No: HPFGUIDX 32075

It's a far-fetched theory, but was Lily Potter part/fully gorgon?

A few things shored up this shakey theory:

1. How did Lily protect Harry from Voldermort? A GORGON'S BLOOD has 
special qualities: brings life to Pegasus in Greek myth; is used to 
raise the dead. Maybe the blood of his dying mother saved/ressurected 
Harry?

Also, interestingly...

2. Legend has it that Medusa, one of the three gorgons, has blood 
that if taken from the RIGHT VEIN HEALS and if from the LEFT KILLS.
The reaction of Sirius and Dumbledore when they heard Wormtail 
pierced Harry's arm & the fleeting gleam of triumph of Dumbledore 
could indicate they knew Harry's blood now possessed these 
properties. Dumbledore told him to stretch out his arm & 'Harry 
showed them both the place where his robes were torn, and the cut 
BENEATH them'(so they didn't see where the cut was before he lifted 
his robes). Earlier, in 'Flesh, Blood & Bone Chapter GF', we're told 
Wormtail penetrates the crook of his RIGHT arm!
IMO, DD, having seen which arm it was says, "Voldemort has overcome 
that particular barrier."

3. Importance of Harry's eyes - Harry has his mother's eyes. 
Medusa '...has wide unblinking eyes that reflect her immense wisdom. 
They are all knowing, all seeing eyes that see through us, 
penetrating our illusions and looking into the abyss of truth.' 
Also, 'to look upon her face was to glimpse ones own death as she saw 
your future.' Women in Antiquity, Alicia Le Van.   
   
Going on a bit long here, but I have more if anyone interested in 
following this thread?
