I think that they knew the danger they were in and knew they wanted a child so they saved the money over the years.

well.. the lily think..i have kind of connections going on in my head. Vernon married Petunia..he's too shallow to marry somebody poor, so she must come from a rich family. Petunia is Lily's sister.. meaning Lily comes from a rich family too..not to mention she was a brilliant witch so whatever her job was gave her money..but her parents probably helped too.

yeah i'm guessing that the better you are at magic the higher up you go....so i'm guessing both were rich by the jobs they got

yeah....maybe it was old money, because the potters don't seem like they would be 'get rich quick' kind of people

:shrugs: they didn't really mention the Potters wealth besides the 1st book when Harry first goes to his vault and Hagrid says something along the lines of 'you didn't think your parents left you with nothing did you?'

well, you dont really need to be rich to have a small fortune. i mean, well both his parents died so everything they had went to cash and went to the vault. and if their banks are like ours it collected interest. two peoples full assets collecting interest for 13 years....it grows

yeah..that's true. but interest isn't so great that the amount of money he has now would be all from that.. they HAD to have had a large base amount for it to grow to that size
