The life line is a specific crease on the palm of a person's hand which serves as an indicator in the art of palmistry.[1] It is primarily used to ascertain how long a person will live.[1][2]
In 1994, when Professor Sybill Trelawney began to teach her third year Divination students about the art of Palmistry, she informed Harry Potter at once that his life lines were the shortest she had ever seen.[1] Two years later, when Harry Potter sat his O.W.L. exam, he mixed up this and the head line, and told Professor Griselda Marchbanks, the examiner, that she ought to have died the previous Tuesday.[2]
