- Minerva McGonagall. Talk about your no-nonsense, kick-ass, super-skilled frighteningly competent but sympathetic mother/teacher-figure. And then to top it all off, she's magic. I love her determination and strength and power and unwavering goodness. And she even has a sense of humor.
- Luna Lovegood. She sees everything through rainbow-colored glasses, has an explanation (rational or not) for everything, and despite the fact that she's mocked and a total underdog, she's still so kind and kindly and has such faith in everything working out the way it should. Plus, she's a friend to angsty!teen!Harry when other people are too wrapped up in themselves to just let him be himself.
- Lily Evans Potter, for her unwavering backbone and the way she never gave up on the strength and power of love. I know we don't see all that much of her for a long time, but the flashback scenes go to show how strong and kind she really was and despite what anyone thinks of her relationship with either James or Severus, there... wouldn't be a book series without her and her quick thinking.
