Mr Thomas was a wizard and the biological father of Dean Thomas.

Biography[]

He abandoned his Muggle wife and infant son in a courageous effort to protect them from the Death Eaters during the First Wizarding War. He was soon after murdered by the Death Eaters when he refused to join their cause. His widow, who was never told that her husband was a wizard, eventually remarried a Muggle man, who raised Dean as his own son.[2]

When Dean realised he was a wizard at age eleven, his mother suspected that her first husband might have also been a wizard; however, not knowing for certain, Mrs Thomas left Dean to grow up believing he may have been Muggle-born.[3]

Notes and references[]

  1. Given that he was killed by Death Eaters for refusing to join them, it's highly unlikely that he was a muggle-born. However, there is a small possibily. In rare cases, muggle-borns like Lily Potter were asked to join.
