Sometimes being Muggle born feels like floating—with no anchor, no port. She belongs nowhere. In the magic world she’s a person without a history—magical families have legacies and friendships that stretch back millennia. Lily has none of that, no link to the magical world, no familiar faces, she’s on her own. In the Muggle world she finds it hard to relate to people.
