Fleamont Potter died of dragon pox and his fortune was left to his son,
How did Harry Potter's parents get so rich? Harry's inheritance is thanks to his paternal grandfather, Fleamont Potter. Fleamont Potter, according to Pottermore, quadrupled the family's gold when he invented the Sleekeazy's Hair Potion. After his retirement, Fleamont sold his shares/company for even a bigger profit.
Since we know one galleon is equal to around $25, the minimum amount of money in Harry's vault is a mind-blowing $1,265,625! And that's the baaaaaare minimum considering that in the books, although no specifics were given, A LOT more money was depicted.
Answer (1 of 4): They inherited the money from James's parents, who made their fortune off Sleakeazy's Hair potion and at retirement, James father Fleming sold the company for a large profit. James and Lily inherited all the money seeing as James was Fleamont's only son.
It's debatable whether the Malfoy family fortune is greater than the combined Potter and Black family fortune, but it's safe to say Harry individually has a greater amount of money than Draco.
Having rendered unknown, shady (and almost certainly magical) services to King William I, Malfoy was given a prime piece of land in Wiltshire, seized from local landowners, upon which his descendants have lived for ten consecutive centuries.
For the Potter uninitiated, “always” is how Snape explains to Dumbledore in the final book why his Patronus takes the same shape as the one belonging to his long-lost love: Harry Potter's mother, Lily.
Harry inherits all of Sirius's possessions, including the house at Grimmauld Place, the house-elf Kreacher, and Buckbeak the Hippogriff.
Harry James Potter holds half-blood status in Rowling's imagined wizarding world because his mother is Muggle-born and his father is pure-blood. There are three main blood statuses; pure-blood, half-blood, and Muggle-born, which are all methods of determining a witch or wizard's magical lineage.
Despite his wealth, Harry Potter never offered to help the Weasley family with their financial struggles. In the books, it's clear this wasn't greed. Over the years, fans have criticized the titular Harry Potter character for allowing The Weasley family to live in poverty even though he had enough wealth to help them.
And this is why Hermione does not fit into Ravenclaw, since she lacks their creativity of thought. When you also add in her fearlessness and her strong convictions about right and wrong, which are inherently Gryffindor traits, then there was even less of a chance she'd end up wearing blue and bronze.
1. The Weasleys are poor because of having 7 children. Until Bill and Charlie started working, the Weasley family had one earning member to take care of the household expenses, education and upbringing of 9 family members.
One of the wealthiest Wizarding families in Britain, the Malfoys were known for their connections to other pureblood families and their covert influence over the magical government. In contrast to the Weasleys, the Malfoys were traditionally sorted into Slytherin and supported pureblood supremacy.

Both Lily and James Potter were killed by Voldemort aged 21 at Godric's Hollow on 31 October 1981, when Harry was just 1 year old, And the rest of the story, you no doubt know.
The answer is that Sirius wanted to deflect attention from the real Secret-Keeper. He probably hoped Voldemort would go after him so he could steer attention away from Pettigrew.
So how are Sirius and the Weasleys related? Phineas Nigellus Black is Sirius' great-great-grandfather and Arthur's great-grandfather, making the two men second cousins once removed. (Sirius correctly notes the relationship in Order of the Phoenix.)
Almost all of Dumbledore's worldly possessions — including his books, magical instruments, and various other effects — were left to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
The fact that Lily chose James Potter, Harry's father, only fuels Snape's hostility towards Harry.
Dumbledore reveals how thoroughly he loves Harry. Harry is brave, and Dumbledore is proud as any father would be. More than that, Dumbledore succumbs to a parent's weakness; he cares more about Harry's happiness and wellbeing than the wizarding world he is trying to protect.
In the [Deathly Hallows] book, Snape's dying words to Harry were "Look at me". Right then we did not realize the significance of his words but in the very next chapter when Harry goes through Snape's memories in the Pensieve, he comes to know how much Snape loved Lily.
Narcissa Malfoy's Very Dangerous Lie
But she was also a mother, which meant she was willing to risk everything to make sure her son was safe. When Harry survived Voldemort's Killing Curse for the second time, Narcissa pretended he was dead so she could get to Draco.
That's not a joke, he actually doesn't work. Rowling shared on Pottermore, “Independently wealthy, without any need to work, Draco inhabits Malfoy Manor with his wife and son.” He lives off of inheritance money!, so the lucky man can dedicate his life to hobbies without the stress of making money.
The Malfoys kept trying to conceive until the had one child. He was raised to be the perfect child in their eyes, so they only had one.
