 Re: think about it...
Well, they were 21 when Voldemort attacked...but if they were 18 when they got out of school they did have three years inbetween... so it's likely they defied Voldemort approx. once a year, which means that they didn't necessarily defy Voldemort during their school years as Harry did...
...I always felt as though it was implied that Marauders/Lily were not greatly involved while at Hogwarts, but I think it's reasonable to assume they could ahve joined the Order almost right after graduating and that their defiances of Voldemort would have been related to Order work.
As far as Lily, she was probably more of a target as a Muggleborn and Order member than as a possible recruit. |
