NOTE: Only the people and events that are important to our plot are mentioned (for example, although the Prewetts were a pureblood family they were also on the 'good' side and so the birth of Molly Weasley's children is not noted). For a more rounded/in-depth timeline, the HP Lexicon is your friend.
