Harry James Potter was born on July 31, 1980 to Lily and James Potter.
Harry is also known as "The boy who lived" and "The Chosen One"
PreBirth
Before Harry was born, Professor Albus Dumbledore had a meeting at a pub called the Hog's Head with a rather odd looking person named Sibyll Trelawney. This meeting was intended to be an interview for a teaching position at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. During the course of this meeting the following prophecy was given by then soon-to-be Professor Trelawney[HP5]
"The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches ... Born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies ... And the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not ... And either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives ... The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies...[HP5]"
Dumbledore tells us "A servant of Lord Voldemort was present at the Hog's Head, and overheard the first part of Trelawney's prophecy but was thrown from the building before the prophecy was completed."[HP5]
Birth and Infancy
On July 31, 1980 Lily and James Potter gave birth to a baby boy that they named Harry James. Little did they know what their son would grow up to be. Hearing of Harry's birth, Voldemort decided that he must be the one reffered to in the prophecy inevitably fufilling Clause 4 of the Prophecy.
Knowing that Voldemort was looking for young Harry, the Potters attempted to hide him with the Fidelius Charm and almost named Harry's Godfather, Sirius Black as the Secret Keeper, but swiched at the last minute to Peter Pettigrew. This descision turned out to be a bad one, as Pettegrew was a spy for Voldemort and as such, reveiled the location of young Harry, Godric's Hollow.
On October 31, 1981, went to the Godric's Hollow residence and attempted to kill Harry.
