Mama loves you. Dada loves you. Always be brave,” she repeated before the bedroom door was blown aside. Lily dropped Harry into the crib behind her and threw her arms out.
"... have mercy..."
Lily's last words were an ardent request to the Dark Lord to let her little boy live. As the books reveal by and by, the fact that she made the ultimate sacrifice for her son sealed Harry with her love, a form of old magic that proved powerful enough to keep him safe in years to come.
In the woods, right before Harry faces off with Voldemort (Deathly Hallows) he sees Lily, James, and Sirius. Harry asks, “Will you stay with me?” Lily says, “Always.” Is this a reference to Snape? Why didn't Snape take Harry in when Lily and James died?
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.
Her sacrifice gave Harry the power of love, a protection spell sealed with the blood spilled by her death.
Sectumsempra is a curse invented by Professor Severus Snape, during his childhood, when he was known as "The Half-Blood Prince". He created it with the intention of using it against his enemies, and it soon became one of his specialties.

James and Lily were in the original Order of the Phoenix and therefore knew they were risking their lives in the war against Voldemort. Still, the Dark Lord's whole reason for trying to kill them all was to eliminate the threat posed by a certain prophecy.
Erroneously believing Snape is the master of the Elder Wand and that Snape's death will make him the master of the Wand, Voldemort kills Snape by having his pet snake Nagini bite him through the neck.
Severus Snape's last words to Harry were simply "Look at me", to see Lily Evans' eyes once more before he died.
In the book, Fred's last lines are spent marveling over his estranged brother Percy joining them for the fight and cracking a joke. He's described as gleefully saying, "You actually are joking, Perce ... I don't think I've heard you joke since you were —" immediately before his death.
Snape's love for Lily fed his hatred for James, and meant he would stop at nothing ' even arranging the murder of her child ' to possess Lily. Lily's life would be spared in return for Snape giving information of the prophesy to Lord Voldemort.
After Snape angrily called Lily a Musblood and tried to apologize for it, Lily countered by saying along the lines of 'Why are you sorry for calling me that when you and your Death Eater friends call everyone with my past a Mudblood'. Snape had no real comeback. We know that was the de facto end of their friendship.
But the author also told The Leaky Cauldron's "PotterCast" podcast in 2007 that Voldemort tried to recruit Muggle-born Lily Potter, along with James, to join the group. She said it was established in "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" that, "He wanted them, and they wouldn't come over."
Why have we never considered this before? 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.
In the movie, Dobby dies in Harry's arms from a fatal knife wound, and his last words were “Such a beautiful place, to be with friends.
In the scene Petunia says, “ You didn't just lose a mother that night in Godric's Hollow you know, I lost a sister.” But Petunia saying this, I believe is wishful thinking! She was to hardened to love Harry or exchange good words.
As Rowling explained in a series of tweets, Snape loved Harry's mother, Lily, and his unrequited affection drove him to resent Harry's father, James — and by extension, Harry himself.

In the final book, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,” Rowling reveals that Snape was acting on Dumbledore's orders and had protected Harry at school out of love for Harry's mother, Lily. “Snape died for Harry out of love for Lily,” Rowling said.
In order to conjure the avada kedavra curse, you have to want to kill your victim. We all know that Voldemort could easily kill a child without an ounce of remorse... but not Snape. Snape didn't want to kill Dumbledore, and this was why the spell was blue instead of the usual green.
So Snape asked Voldemort to spare Lily. He basically rejected this request out of hand; killing the Potters was too important to him. He agreed to give Lily a chance to save herself, but he certainly didn't promise to save her life.
While we know Voldemort killed Lily, he did give her a choice. If she stepped aside and allowed him to murder Harry, he would spare her. Lily refused and sacrificed herself to save her son. That action (and Lily's love) was what gave Harry protection from Voldemort's Killing Curse.
James inherited the cloak from his father, Fleamont Potter, who inherited it as a descendant of Iolanthe Peverell -- a granddaughter of Ignotus Peverell. The cloak passed down through generations of the family until it reached James and then Harry.
