Jan. 2nd, 2012 03:11 pmSo, let us pretend for a moment that it is 2005, and that this is the sort of thing we talk about. I'm using the HP Lexicon to refresh my memory about certain things for a fic, but I have questions that are not explicitly answered there.
1. Did Dumbledore tell Lily and James about the Prophecy before Lily got pregnant, or after? Is it possible that they were intentionally trying to fulfill the Prophecy by having a baby in July, or is it made clear that they didn't know?
2. In the PoA movie, Remus has some dialogue to the effect that Lily was especially nice to him. Is this canon, or did they add it for the movie?
3. My brain keeps insisting that James and Sirius had a bit of a falling-out over the incident with Snape and the Shrieking Shack, and that the incident precipitated Lily seeing James in a more favorable light. Is any of this true, or am I just remembering fic that filled in the gaps about why Lily started liking James? (I know Sirius was close friends with them later, but that doesn't exclude the possibility that James was angry at him for a while.)
4. After leaving school and before Voldemort's downfall, did any of the Marauders+Lily ever have jobs that we know of? I realize there was a war and whatnot, and that James had inherited money so he was taken care of, but I'm having a hard time picturing what life was like during the First War and to what extent people were still trying to carry on ordinary lives. The Order of the Phoenix is supposed to be a secret, so it never seemed to me like being a member was the only thing you would be doing. Wouldn't you have like a regular job or something to hide the fact that you were also in this secret organization working against Voldemort?
