James and Lily Potter were killed in their cottage in Godric's Hollow by Lord Voldemort on the 31st October 1981.
Voldemort entered the house and was met by James, who had left his wand in the living room. James shouted at Lily, who was also wandless, to escape before Voldemort murdered him. Voldemort then went upstairs where Lily was barricading the door. She put Harry into his crib and then stood over it, begging Voldemort not to kill him. He told her to stand aside and, when she refused, he killed her before turning his wand on Harry.

∙ 9y agoWell, Voldemort was coming to kill Harry so that he couldn't fulfill a certain prophecy made by a certain Seer. James Potter attempted to hold off the Dark Lord while his wife ran off to protect Harry. Voldemort killed James and pursued and cornered Lily Potter. He told her to step aside, that she needn't die. He only wanted Harry. Lily refused, and Voldemort killed her. Next, he turned his wand to the infant Harry and cast the Killing Curse. But the curse rebounded upon Voldemort himself, weakening him beyond belief while Harry only sustained his legendary lightening scar. Harry had been safe from the curse because Lily sacrificed herself to protect him.

Why did Lily Evans marry James Potter?
Lily may have liked snape more than James because he was more quiet and probably was a good listener. Lily choose James because snape decied to go to the dark side and that was against every thing she believed in. He was also popuar and a very good wisard just like herself. Also he loved her very much and ended up marrieing each other and having a son. Before lily and James died snape was back on the good side and confessed to dumbuldoor that valdamort was after harry, lily, and James. Becase it was he who was in the profassy. To keep lily safe and unharmed. So dumbledoor hid them. Though pettygrewin blabed and told valdamort where they were hiding. valdamort went after the potters and killed James first. Then he went to where lily was and did the killing curse on her. But when he did the killing curse it back fired on valdamort and almost killed himself. harry was fine and he survived because lily sacrificed herself so harry could live baecause he was her only child. In the end snape was mad at valdamort for killing lily because he loved her. He doesn't like harry because he has a resembleince of his father witch makes him mad. But also he has a resemblence of lily witch makes him sad so he saves harry because of lily. That is why Lily potter likes James more than snape. And why snape doesn't like James, also why harry didn't die when valdamort did the killing curse on harry.
