Harry Potter: 10 Most Evil Gryffindors Of All Time
6. James Potter
James Potter is one of the Wizarding World’s most celebrated heroes. A key member of the Order of the Phoenix and a spearhead of the charge against the dark side, he channeled the very best of what House Gryffindor stood for. Unfortunately, there was more to him than just that.
During his school years, he was to Snape what Snape was later to his son. He and Sirius frequently teamed up to belittle and abuse young Severus. Despite being strongly opposed to the dark side, his own arrogance often made him do some rather unsavory things, things that would later come back to haunt his offspring.
