Here is the wikipedia excerpt about James Potter: enjoy!😃
James Potter, nicknamed Prongs, is the father of Harry Potter. As an only child, James is very pampered as "an extra treasure" because his parents are already elderly when he is born.<SUP class=reference id=cite_ref-tlc_12-0><FONT color=#0066cc>[13]</FONT></SUP><SUP class=reference id=cite_ref-factfile_13-0><FONT color=#0066cc>[14]</FONT></SUP> James meets Sirius, Lupin and Pettigrew when they enter Hogwarts, When James, Sirius and Pettigrew discover that Lupin is in fact a <FONT color=#0066cc>werewolf</FONT>, the three of them illegally learn to become <FONT color=#0066cc>Animagi</FONT>, to safely accompany Lupin during his transformations and keep him under control. It is during this time that they discover almost all the secret passageways of Hogwarts and design the <FONT color=#0066cc>Marauder's Map</FONT>. At school, James is a brilliant student, appointed as <FONT color=#0066cc>Head Boy</FONT> without being a <FONT color=#0066cc>prefect</FONT>, and said to have been a talented player on the Gryffindor <FONT color=#0066cc>Quidditch</FONT> team. In the <FONT color=#0066cc>film version</FONT> of Philosopher's Stone, Harry and his friends find James's name listed on a plaque as a Seeker on his Quidditch team; however, Rowling stated in an interview that she intended him to be a Chaser.<SUP class=reference id=cite_ref-14><FONT color=#0066cc>[15]</FONT></SUP>
Rowling describes James and Harry as having similar attributes: the same thin face, same hands, and the same untidy black hair sticking up at the back, and nearly the same height as his son during their school days. However, Rowling also describes James as having hazel eyes and a slightly longer nose than Harry does. Like Harry, James is generally described to be a good, loyal friend who "regarded it as the height of dishonour to mistrust his friends."<SUP class=reference id=cite_ref-hf_15-0><FONT color=#0066cc>[16]</FONT></SUP> Characters in the books often comment on James's personality, about which Rowling comments that "there was a lot of good in James".<SUP class=reference id=cite_ref-factfile_13-1><FONT color=#0066cc>[14]</FONT></SUP> The Hogwarts student population seems to have admired James back in his day, and teachers respect his talent, though not his behaviour. His popularity, however, is not universal, as a mutual hatred sprang up between him and Snape.<SUP class=reference id=cite_ref-16><FONT color=#0066cc>[17]</FONT></SUP> Snape constantly tells Harry that James was "exceedingly arrogant",<SUP class=reference id=cite_ref-ss2_17-0><FONT color=#0066cc>[18]</FONT></SUP> and at one occasion, Sirius admits that he and James could sometimes be "arrogant little berks" but that "[James] grew out of it" (which Lily is said to have noted by their seventh year).<SUP class=reference id=cite_ref-postswm_18-0><FONT color=#0066cc>[19]</FONT></SUP> In <FONT color=#0066cc>Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix</FONT>, after seeing a scene from Snape's memories within a <FONT color=#0066cc>Pensieve</FONT> of a fifteen-year-old James and Sirius bullying Snape, Harry agrees with Snape's assessment of his father's arrogance. According to Dumbledore in <FONT color=#0066cc>Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone</FONT>, however, James and Snape shared a rivalry not unlike that of <FONT color=#0066cc>Draco Malfoy</FONT> and Harry. In addition, Lupin tells Harry that Snape "never lost an opportunity to curse James".<SUP class=reference id=cite_ref-postswm_18-1><FONT color=#0066cc>[19]</FONT></SUP> According to Rowling in a recent interview: "James always suspected Snape harboured deeper feelings for Lily, which was a factor in James's behaviour to Snape".<SUP class=reference id=cite_ref-chat0730_0-3><FONT color=#0066cc>[1]</FONT></SUP> However, when Sirius attempts to goad Snape into the <FONT color=#0066cc>Shrieking Shack</FONT> where Lupin stayed after transforming into a werewolf, James saves Snape's life.
After graduating from Hogwarts, James — along with Lily and his friends — become "full-time fighters" for the Order, and do not hold regular jobs, supporting his family and Lupin, whose status as a werwolf made him unemployable, on family gold.<SUP class=reference id=cite_ref-carnegie_19-0><FONT color=#0066cc>[20]</FONT></SUP> In an interview, Rowling revealed that James and Lily were asked by Voldemort to join the Death Eaters, but refused, making it "one strike against them before they were even out of their teens".<SUP class=reference id=cite_ref-pottercast130_20-0><FONT color=#0066cc>[21]</FONT></SUP> When his son Harry becomes Voldemort's target, the Potters go into hiding and name Pettigrew as their secret keeper. However, on <FONT color=#0066cc>31 October, 1981</FONT>, the Potters' whereabouts are betrayed by Pettigrew, and they are attacked by Voldemort without warning at their home in <FONT color=#0066cc>Godric's Hollow</FONT>. James urges his wife to run and take Harry while he holds Voldemort off. Wandless, he is killed.
