Lily & Petunia Evans

[Susan Fox-Davis]

No: HPFGUIDX 55437

Recap:  I opined that maybe the Evans' were a wizarding family and
Petunia was a Squib, accounting for her bad attitude about magic.  Audra
shot it down with:

>It was not in canon, but in an interview that JKR stated Lily was
>definitely a Muggleborn witch, just like Hermione.

Rats.  <smell of smoke from a great theory shot to Hail.>  And the
psychology was so textbook too.  Well here's to their parents, cheers
for supporting Lily's uniqueness but jeers to neglecting their "normal"
kid.  Come to think of it, this is not unlike many families with a
gifted child, this is just a different gift.
