Does Harry Have a Godmother?

This is a fascinating question that rarely gets touched. Let’s first define what a godmother is. It’s a common misconception that godparents have to be married to each other. While some people may choose a married couple to be their child’s godparents, it’s not required in all cases. This means that Sirius didn’t have to be married for Harry to have a godmother. Another misconception is that godparents are automatically legal guardians of the child if the parents die. Godparents are named in a religious ceremony, usually a christening of some sort. This explains why Harry didn’t go to Sirius after the Potter’s untimely end. The third false impression, and most important to this editorial, is that there doesn’t have to be two godparents. Just because there is a godfather does not mean we can automatically infer there is a godmother.
