          Ok, so I've been thinking about this recently, is it ever mentioned
what Harry's parents did? Why does he have so much money? Do wizards
have life insurance? I mean since they were killed I could see that
money going into Gringots(sp) and growing interest for 11 years while
he was not in the wizard world. But this doesn't seem to be explained
anywhere. So anyone have any theories?

JKR has promised answers so some of these issues in DH.  All we know now is that James Potter is the only child of an old but wealthy couple.  We do NOT know what J & L Potter did professionally.
