This gap in the story has been haunting fans for many years.

One of the things that remains a mystery to both fans of the books and the Harry Potter movies is the development of Harry's parents relationship, Lily and James.

We have only been shown the major events of their life together, and the details revealed in flashbacks made it clear that James was not the most pleasant person at Hogwarts.

Since this issue has been bothering fans for years, many are hoping that the HBO show will spend more time on Lily and James' relationship and how James was able to win Lily over given his less-than-stellar reputation.

The whole love triangle created in the books between Lily, Snape, and James seems quite toxic. Snape was terribly worried that he could not let Lily go, while James showed his worst traits.

He was very rude to Severus, despite Lily's warm feelings for him. This whole dynamic raises many questions, and that’s why the relationship between James and Lily is perceived with skepticism by many fans.

One of the most mysterious things about the relationship is that Lily didn't even like James at first and didn't want to date him for a long time.

Obviously something has changed since they got married, but the problem is that the change happened too quickly. At Hogwarts, Lily thought James was an annoying guy she wanted nothing to do with.

In Harry Potter, James was shown to have many flaws. He was the only child of wealthy parents. He was handsome and talented, which made him vain and arrogant. The books suggested that he would eventually change, but we never saw that change.

The story of Harry's parents is an important part of the background, even though they never raised the boy. Therefore, fans are hoping that the writers of the HBO show will take into account the obvious gaps in the main character's backstory and fill them.

In addition, it was recently announced that the creators plan to make the show a decade-long project, which means that some aspects of the story will have time to develop more than in the movies, and perhaps even more than in the books.
