On October 31st, 1981, in Godric's Hollow, Lily and James Potter were killed trying to protect their son Harry.
Orphan Harry Potter grew up on 4 Privet Drive with an abusive aunt and uncle for 11 years before finding out that not only is magic real, he's a wizard and was accepted to Hogwarts.
He later meets his dad's two best friends, both of whom die tragically like their best friend did. That leaves Harry once again alone, in a world where Harry knows he will never live a normal life. His children are going to be under so much pressure, and he feels awful. It sucks to be born famous. Harry becomes paranoid and overprotective, and unfortunately passes away at age 91, still restless.
This is the unfortunate case of Harry James Potter, the Boy Who Lived.
Except, what if it wasn't? What if two Potters survived that night?
What if James had lived?
