At a year old, harry was attacked by Lord Voldemort, who had planned to take over the world.Both his parents were killed,but in her final act, his mother protected him, and Harry survived, although with a lightning bolt-shaped scar on his forehead.
Harry moved in with the Dursleys, his non-wizard (Muggle) relatives, who hating magic, told him that his parents had died in a car crash, and made him live under the stairs at their house. Until, that is, the day he turned eleven, when he was told via an angry Rubeus Hagrid, that he was a wizard, and he would attend the Hogwarts Schol of Witchcaft and Wizardry.
During his next few years at Hogwarts, Harry encountered many possible threats to his life.
Read more about them.

Hermione Granger

Muggle-born Hermione Granger is another Gryfindor and close friend of Harry and Ron. Obsesed with her studies, in her third year at Hogwarts, she went so far as to use a Time-Traveller, just so she could attend several classes at once (sheesh!) Reportedly, her most feared thing is failing all her tests!

Ron Weasly
Harry's best friend, Ron and Harry met on the platform waiting for the train to Hogwarts. It was both Harry and Ron's first years, and, as they were both sorted into Gryfindor House, became fast friends.
Between Harry's first and second years at Hogwarts, Harry stayed at the Weaslys for part of the summer affter the Dursleys had locked and barred him in his room

Fred and George Wealsly
The Weasly twins are mainly in the book for comic relief. They are 3 years older than Harry and Ron, and are beaters on the Gryfindor Quidditch team.
Fred and George are also somewhat troublemakes, they stole the Maurader's Map from Filch's office while they were in here for setting of dung bombs. Not to mention stealing their father's flying car..

Ginny Wealsy
The youngest of the Weaslys, Ginny first apeared in Chamber of Secrets, when she opened the chamber and started petrifying students. She idolizes Harry, and reveres him as a God.

Percy Wealsly
The oldest of the Weaslys still in Hogwarts, Perfect Percy was a prefect for two years before becoming Head Boy. He desires to become the Minister of Magic, and once read a book entitled Prefects who Gained Power : A study of Hogwarts Prefects and their Later Careers.
Percy is very statly, nowhere near relaxed. When meeting harry back at Hogwarts after the summer, he very solemly shook Harry's hand and said, "Hello Harry. I hope you're well"

Neville Longbottom
A short, fat, and slightly daft Gryfindor. Neville is pure wizard blood, although he is probobly one of the worst students in his year. A loyal friend to Harry, Hermione, and Ron, he even tried to stop them from saving the sorcerer's stone for fear of losing points.

Dean Thomas
Muggle-born Dean Thomas is another Gryfindor in Harry's year. His best friend in Seamus Finnigan.

Seamus Finnigan
Sandy-haired Seamus Finnigan is another Gryfindor in Harry's year. He is good friends with Dean Thomas.

Draco Malfoy
Harry's archrival in Hogwarts, Draco Malfoy is in the the supposedly bad Syltherin house. The Malfoys, with Lucius Malfoy being in with the Ministry, and having a lavish manor, are everything Harry and his friends are not. It is even rumored that the Malfoy's were in Voldemort's inner circle before he was destoyed....

Crabbe and Goyle
Malfoy's big, slow witted but quick fisted henchmen. What more is therre to say?

Albus Dumbledore
Albus Dumbledore is "one of the finest headmasters of Hogwarts"
No easy feat, since Hogwarts is over 1,000 years old. Also quoted as eing one of the most powerful wizards in the land, Dumbledore is not one to cross.

Minerva McGonagall
The Transfiguration teacher at Hogwarts, she is also the Gryfindor teacher . Like Snape, she is strict, although she does in no way single Harry out for punishement

Rubeus Hagrid
Hagrid first met Harry just minutes after Voldemort's attack. He had arrived on Professer Dumbledore's orders to pick up Harry and bring him to him. They crossed paths again on Harry's 11th birthday when he met up with the Dursleys and informed Harry for the first time that he was a wizard. After taking Harry to Diagon Alley to buy his school supplies, they met again at the school where Hagrid worked as a groundskeeper.
After being proven innocent of a crime that happened years before by Harry, Hagrid became Hogwarts's Care of Magical Creatures teacher.

Serverus Snape
Snape is the Potions teacher. He has an incredible hatred for Harry, only because he went to Hogwarts with James Potter, Harry's dad. For a little practical joke, James and some friends thought it would be funny to try to lure Snape into the den of a werewolf. Unfortunatly, he actually came, not what they had planned, and the elder Potter was forced to save Snapes life. Snape is also head of Slytherin house.

Lord Voldemort
A.k.a You know who, the Dark Lord tried to take over the world. James Potter was a powerful Wizard, and Voldemort knew he must kill him. Potter's old friend from school, Peter Pettigrew, revealed their hiding place to Voldemort. He went to the Potter's and killed Harry's parents. However, in her last act, Lily Potter, managed to protect Harry, and the Dark Lord could not kill Harry. Some say this was because Harry possesed greater powers than Vldemort, others think it was beacuse he was perfectly innocent of anything, his goodness protected him. In any case, his lightning bolt-shaped scard still serves as a reminder.

Vernon, Petunia, and Dudley Dursley
Harry's muggle relatives; he lived with them for ten years. Under the stairs. being in second place to their spoiled son Dudley. Never told that he was a wizard, only saying that he's parents had died in a car crash. The Dursleys hate Harry, not liking any magical people at all.

Sirius Black
Convicted mass murder Sirius Black was supposedly Voldemort's right-hand man, and also played a crucial role in the deaths of Lily and James Potter. In Azakaban though, he proves that it was actually Peter Pettigrew who killed the people, who betrayed the Potters. Sirius was James's best friend, best man at his wedding and godfather to Harry. As he says, succeding to prove his innocence in a shack in Hogsmeade, "I would have died before I betrayed Lily and James."
