Evans is the surname of a Muggle family, though they have some magical blood, as Lily Evans was a Muggle-born witch. They are Harry Potter's maternal family, and are known in the wizarding world for Lily's sacrifice to save Harry from Lord Voldemort. They are related to the Muggle Dursley family and wizarding Potter and Weasley families. They lived near Spinner's End, the residence of the Snape family.[1]
