The orphaned wizard Harry Potter had a difficult upbringing without a proper father figure in his life to guide him, yet it was not Albus Dumbledore or Sirius Black who stood out as his most gracious mentor following his arrival at Hogwarts. As the world-renowned Boy Who Lived, the sad story of Harry’s parents was well known throughout the wizarding world, and he was hidden away with his mean-spirited aunt and uncle for his protection when he was just a baby. While this was difficult, Harry did gain some much-needed parental guidance in the form of several important mentors.
