Things James Potter was other than an arrogant bullying toerag:

• A “beloved boy” to Fleamont and Euphemia Potter
• A friend who risked his life every month for Remus Lupin’s safety and comfort
• A brother who took Sirius Black in and was “the best friend he ever had”
• An adored friend of half-giant Rubeus Hagrid, in an age when all “half-breeds” were looked upon with suspicion during the war
• A side of the double act which brought laughter to Madam Rosmerta
• An “all-time favourite student” of Minerva McGonagall, so much so that she waited all day at his son’s future home and wept at his death
• A saviour of his enemies even when they were trying to expose his friends’ secrets
• A Head Boy who was capable enough to be entrusted with the school
• A man so against Dark Magic that at his name being invoked, his loved ones changed their mind about vengeance 
• An activist protecting the right of existence for Muggles and Muggle-borns right out of school
• A soldier who faced Voldemort three times and lived to tell about it
• A caring father who went into hiding to protect his son 
• A loving husband who sacrificed his life for his family
• A faded trace of magic still trying to guide his son when the man that killed him returned to life 
• A patronus helping Harry Potter through his darkest moments until the very end
