Well, I thought I'd throw in my two sense about the class and homelives of 
MWPP. I've established my own opinion of their individual lives already in a 
fic I've started and I'll share my opinion that has absoluely no proof or 
Canon evidence with you (you lucky people you! ;)...I'm having a Lockhart 
moment..)


I'll start with Peter! I see him as normal, middle-class. His father is a 
bitter squib and ironically is a jerk to Peter for almost being a squib. 
Peter's mother, on the other hand, is a kind witch who loves her son very 
much. I based his mother on what we know from PoA--Fudge says they awarded 
Peter Order of Merlin, First Class which was some comfort to his poor mother.


Now on to James! I agree with those who say he is upper middle-class. i 
imagine his father is an important, prominent member of the Ministry and 
Potter is a respectable name in the wizarding world. I do wonder whatever 
happened to his parents...

Remus is a half-blood in my imagination. His mother is a muggle and his 
father is a wizard but both are intelligent, open-minded people. They lived 
in a muggle village until Remus was bit by another werewolf on the move and 
his family then moved to a secluded area. Remus' parents are both kind, as 
Remus has said in PoA, they helped him with his problem. 

Sirius is another one I imagine as a pure-blood. I think he was also 
middle-class and has most of his money from whatever he did before being 
shipped to Azkaban. In my story I haven't devoloped his father yet but I made 
his mother a Mrs. Weasley type character. 


Hmm...I've just realized that every character in MWPP is an only child in my 
fic. I wonder if any of them had/have siblings. I tend to make characters an 
only child -- Perhaps from envy! ^_~
