James was born into a pureblood family, to parents Clark Telemachus Ganymede Stewart Potter and his wife, Marylyn Lena (Hausenbichl) Potter. His mother was born into a high class Austrian pureblood family, his father to a similar and very prominent British pureblood family, and the two met through Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Though Marylyn could have attended a closer magical school in neighboring Germany, The Hausenbichls insisted she attend Hogwarts, which was a more widely-respected school. The two got along well, though Marylyn was almost two years his junior, and they were married a year after Clark's graduation in 1921. Despite immediate and continuous efforts to have a child, the couple was unsuccessful for a long time. Just as they had begun to give up hope, Marylyn discovered that she was pregnant with James, and he was born on December 22, 1959, only three days before Christmas.
Though James had a largely happy childhood, much of the earlier bits of it were spent feeling lonely without anonther child to play with. As the only child who came much later in life, all his cousins were grown, many with children of their own, and he had few companions. Though he had several small scale friends, none even began to compare to the first friends he made at Hogwarts, and especially not Sirius. When James arrived at Hogwarts in 1971, he was sorted into Gryffindor - though the hat gave some serious consideration to putting James in Slytherin (which he vehemently refused to allow).

- Sign: Between Capricorn and Sagitarius
http://www.spenecial.com/birdsofafeather/astrology.htm Capricorn - While not the most common sign for Gryffindors to be born under, the combination of Gryffindor aims with Capricorn traits results in wizards who are exceptionally well balanced. For once, here are Gryffindors who will not go charging off on quests without first making thorough preparations and arranging for backup. They are resourceful, well grounded, and self confident, hard workers, and extremely reliable. You can always trust a Gryffindor Capricorn's word; they will not only mean it when they say they will do something, they will follow through successfully. House Prefects often come from this sign, because they are responsible, good students, and natural leaders. What many people forget about the Capricorn is that although they are part goat, they are also part mermaid. That mermaid half represents all the fanciful dreams and lofty ambitions that the quiet Capricorn often hides beneath an unassuming surface. Perhaps Capricorns are sorted into this House because the House needs balance, but those hidden dreams and whimsies probably have a lot to do with it, too.
Sagittarius - Gryffindors born under this sign are exuberant and full of good humour. They are intelligent, but often do not make the best of students, because they would rather be outside enjoying the fresh air or off studying on their own. They aren't good at diplomatic silence; if a teacher makes a mistake, the Gryffindor Sag will draw attention to it right away, usually loudly and in front of the entire class. At length. These students can get into trouble - their hot tempers make for easy dueling matches, and their impish senses of humour inspire a great many practical jokes. Still, they rarely mean anything malicious. They're too jovial to harbour malice. These Gryffindors are likeable extraverts, on good terms with practically everybody, and they generally do all right in the end. Many excellent Quidditch players come from this sign.
