Lily Evans

[Sister Mary Lunatic]

No: HPFGUIDX 10569

I saw this question earlier today, but no one seems to have answered it yet.

Someone asked where we got the fact that Lily's maiden name was Evans.  J.K.
Rowling revealed this in an online chat or interview recently -- someone
asked her and that's what she replied.  Evans is a very common Welsh name,
and we've already pretty much decided that Godric's Hollow is in South
Wales, based on the path that Hagrid took from Godric's Hollow to Little
Whinging in the first chapter of Philosopher's Stone/Sorcerer's Stone.
("Harry fell asleep over Bristol").

An Aside:  I still wonder where Harry and Hagrid were all day, since the
Potters were killed on Halloween evening, Hagrid says he got Harry out of
the ruined house before the Muggles came around, but it wasn't until late
evening of the following day that Harry arrived on Privet Drive.
