Critical Magic Theory takes on Lily Potter, the first Muggleborn episode of the season. Working through 202 listener survey responses, Professor Julian Wamble asks whether Lily was a good person, mother, wife, Muggleborn, Gryffindor, friend, and hero, then turns the question around: why do we only ever get her secondhand, filtered through Snape, Slughorn, and Harry himself? A close read of her Muggleborn identity, her friendship with Snape, and the sacrifice that swallows her whole character, framed as a Harry Potter story about who gets to be known and who gets reduced to what they did for someone else.
