JAMES and LILY POTTER

Harry Potter's deceased parents, whom he resembles remarkably: his father's features and jet-black hair; his mother's striking, almond-shaped green eyes. James was Hogwarts headboy, Quidditch extraordinaire and notorious prankster when teaming with his Marauder friends. Lily Evans was also headgirl of Hogwarts and sister to Harry's horrible Aunt Petunia. They really seem a beautiful couple (once Lily started giving James the time of day...hehe). I picture them as very much in love and wonderful parents, however briefly, to their only son.
We got a glimpse of their personalities when Harry took a trip into Professor Snape's memory via the penseive. Lily was kind, standing up for the underdog Snape, and fiesty in chastizing and rejecting James. Unfortunately, James turned out to be rather arrogent, but he eventually outgrew that. According to Sirius, James detested the dark arts, and I would assume Lily does as well, as they 'thrice defied' Lord Voldemort later on. Voldemort eventually murdered the Potters, fearing a prophesy that their son would be his downfall. Unfortunately for Voldemort, he was unaware of vital parts of the prophesy, and that ignorance in addition to Lily sacrificing herself for Harry caused the curse to backfire, sparing Harry and nearly destroying the Dark Lord.
They show up gradually more often as Harry ages, first as images in the Mirror of Erised, then as shadows from the wand of Lord Voldemort. James also appears as Harry's patronus, in his animagus stag form, Prongs. Maybe if someone is feeling generous (Lupin perhaps?), they can let Harry take a trip into their memories so he can see his parents in slightly more flattering circumstances than bullying Snape. :)

"She was a very pretty woman. She had dark red hair and her eyes - her eyes are just like mine, Harry thought, edging a little closer to the glass. Bright green - exactly the same shape...... The tall, thin, black-haired man standing next to her put his arm around her. He wore glasses, and his hair was very untidy. It stuck up at the back, just as Harry's did. Harry was so close to the mirror now that his nose was nearly touching that of his reflection.
'Mom?' he whispered. 'Dad?'"
