Synopsis of the Core Challenge
The base idea behind this challenge is to alleviate some of the negatives that crop up in Harry's life because of his childhood. I.e. Not knowing anything about his parents. Not being able to stick it to Draco while not offending any other pure-bloods. To make a canonical explanation as to why Lily and James made the choice to do this. Well they were smart enough to make at least one contingency plan. In the form of a Care Package. Because the Potter family was an old semi rich pure-blood family they have gathered plenty of resources to give Harry. They were also fighting a war and know they are a primary target. So not doing at lest this is a crime against humanity.
