Mister Henry Potter

Henry "Harry" Potter was a wizard who served on the Wizengamot from 1913 to 1921. He was the father of Fleamont Potter, the paternal grandfather of James Potter, the great-grandfather of the famous Harry Potter, and the great-great-grandfather of James Sirius, Albus Severus, and Lily Luna Potter.
== Biography ==
Henry was born somewhere in England in or prior to 1892. He was a direct descendant of Hardwin and Iolanthe Potter on his father's side. His mother was a member of the Fleamont family. It was her dying wish that Henry preserve her maiden name, which would otherwise die with her, and thus he named his son Fleamont.
Henry served as a member of the Wizengamot from 1913 to 1921. He caused a minor controversy by publicly condemning the then-Minister for Magic Archer Evermonde's decision to forbid the wizarding community from aiding Muggles during the First World War. Henry's outspoken pro-Muggle views were one of the chief reasons for the Potter family's exclusion from the Sacred Twenty-Eight.
Much later, in 1960, Henry became a grandfather, with the birth of James Potter, son of Fleamont, with whom he is presumed to have been close enough for James to name his son after him, Harry Potter. Unfortunately, Henry would not live long enough to meet the latter.
== Behind the scenes ==
* It is possible that James and Lily Potter named their son, Harry Potter, after him, which could indicate that they had a very close relationship during their lifetime.
* In the American film It's a Wonderful Life (director Frank Capra, 1946), "Henry F. Potter" is the name of the antagonist, whose mannerisms are much akin to Lucius Malfoy.
* As the mother of Henry's son, Fleamont, is labelled as unknown on the Potter family tree, it can be assumed that Fleamont was born out of wedlock, although this is not confirmed.
