Well, it seems to me that when I did some random poking around on
ffnet that there were some non-wonderful MWPP stories that gave
James rather broader shoulders and more muscles than seems likely if
a skinny 14 year old can be mistaken for him. I agree that I also am
in danger of seeing the more hunky image when I think of the sports
star, clique leader, most popular guy in school, and world-saving
hero. In a related vein, I am irritated at JKR for saying James was a
Chaser -- she had all built up that Harry so much resembles James,
and that Harry has the build for a Seeker (Oliver said so), and
therefore James had the build for a Seeker...

Damn right she's sexy. Beautiful figure, beautiful face, charming
manners -- and one hell of a brain, for people who like that sort
of thing. I suspect I would have *hated* her if we'd been in school
together. But an appalling lack of interest in anyone but her old
school boyfriend. If she even has eyes for her close friend Sirius,
it isn't more than eyes.
> 3. Is James Potter a descendent of Godric Gryffindor?
I expect so, but that Gryffindor was over a thousand years ago, and
probably every pureblood wizard and witch in Britain is descended
from all four founders! I feel sure that James's Potters are an old
pureblood family.
I decided a while ago that Godric Gryffindor was really a Welshman
named Gruffydd Glyndwr, and I've suspected that James was Welsh at
least since someone found a possible location of Godric's Hollow in
Wales. This suspicion was strengthened when I saw Simon's group
photo. Two of the young men were *terribly* nerdy looking. With their
black hair and big glasses and too many teeth, I thought they were
Asian (which to me means East Asian, not South Asian), but Simon said
that neither of them are Asian, both are half-English, half-Welsh.
