overall personality:
growing up, albus was the quietest one of the three potter children. his personality resembled that of his father's which was quiet and polite. albus always had the manners out of the two potter boys. still to this day, he prefers to stay in the background of things, hating to draw attention to himself. while, he has grown jealous over the attention that his brother receives as the oldest, he still does not go out of his way to get that attention. needless to say, albus is not a fan of the daily prophet nor of any other papers that want his life story. instead, he would much rather be a follower rather than a leader leading to him being easily persuaded at times. while he can be persuaded easily and more likely to be a follower, he will not stand down from his opinions, if it is something that he has strong feelings for. having inherited the stubbornness from his mother and grandmother, he has quite a tongue when it comes to his opinions and is not afraid to defend his views.
as the son of harry & ginny, he is quite resourceful and can get himself out of situations. albus is skilled at dueling, showing an especially great skill at transfiguration like his grandfather before him. another skill that albus possesses, is the ability to lie quite well. much like his namesake, no one truly knows his real position on something unless he truthfully voices how he feels about something. albus has gotten away with plenty of things thanks to his ability to lie. one incident was when he faked that his brother hit him when they were younger. needless to say, his parents believed him over his brother. one trait that albus shares with his brother, james would be that he is quite protective of his little sister, lily. while albus isn't the closest sibling to her, he will not tolerate anyone talking bad to her or hurting her heart. unlike james, he is less overprotective as most older brothers are, mainly because he feels that he could trust lily to have a good judgment of guys.

history:
the attention was completely on the potter family after they had their first child and son, james. despite the attention on the family, it didn't deter them from deciding to try for another child shortly after having their first son. it wasn't long after that ginny was expecting another little boy. much as with their first son, they wanted a name to commemorate those that had passed away during the numerous battles that had taken place throughout their school years and beforehand. the name 'albus' actually came as a suggestion from ginny, who had held a great deal of respect for the former headmaster much as harry had. both parents agreed that their second son deserved to be named after a man that many considered to be the guardian of hogwarts during those years of their schooling. as long as dumbledore was at hogwarts, no one could truly hurt them. as for the name 'severus', it was a suggestion from harry considering everything that snape had done to protect him despite him not knowing it until it was too late. the two names combined were names held by two of the bravest men that harry had ever gotten to know. a year and a month after their first son had been born, albus severus potter was brought into the world. it wasn't long that a little sister named lily luna was born, a year later after albus.
from the start, albus and james had bonded strongly as brothers. the two were always seen playing together though had their moments of fighting like most brothers would have. as for lily and him, he was always protective of her whenever they went to the playground with their parents. it was rare for any other children to get away with knocking lily down or making fun of her without albus there to protect her. despite the protectiveness, the two were not quite as close as james and lily would become. as albus grew older, his father began to get him interested in quidditch. since he was little, albus had always looked up to his father. if there was one person that he wanted to be like, it was like his father. the day that harry got the three siblings toy broomsticks was the happiest day for albus, at least until an accident occurred. it was during this accident that he fell off his broomstick and broke his arm. since that incident, albus has had a fear of heights and refuses to ride a broomstick again. being a young boy, it certainly scarred him more than it would have, if he was older when the incident occurred. it was quick fix of his arm thanks to healing spells from a close family friend however it didn't ease his mind of the accident. when his siblings were playing quidditch with their cousins, he took up a hobby of reading. it was this hobby that caused his family to believe that he would end up being sorted into ravenclaw when he made his way to hogwarts.
at the age of nine, albus showed his first sign of magical ability when he managed to cause another boy to hang upside down after he had been making fun of him. it was something that had happened during to his intense anger over the situation, similar to when his father had blown up his aunt marge. another sign of magic showed when he would get a haircut, only for his hair to reappear just as it had been before, only the next morning after his haircut. these signs of magic made his parents very excited over the fact that their son was a wizard much like them. at the age of eleven, albus received his letter from hogwarts which was a moment that he has never forgotten as it was one of the happiest moments of his life. this happiness was a bit deflated when james was bothering him for the rest of the summer about being disowned, if he was placed in slytherin. the two boys spent the rest of the summer bickering with one another over the houses. albus had remembered the excitement that his parents had when they found out that james had been sorted into the former house, gryffindor. it was uncommon for anyone in the family to not end up in gryffindor, it was after all the house of the brave.
on his first trip to hogwarts, he remained with james in the compartment along with a few of james' friends. needless to say, the taunting did not stop there as they approached the castle. luckily for albus, he had been told by his father about his own sorting. how the sorting hat had considered placing him in slytherin and that albus had a choice much like his father. the hat would have listened to him, if he desired a different house than slytherin. it was something that to this day has remained between father and son with james and lily never learning of their father's own choice to be in gryffindor. later that night during the sorting, albus' sorting was similar to his father's. it had a difficult time deciding which house that the boy was to end up in. neither of the houses included gryffindor which was something that disappointed albus greatly since he had always wanted to be like his father. the sorting hat was having a difficult time choosing between ravenclaw and slytherin. frozen up from the shock of not being considered for his father's former house, albus had said nothing as the hat decided on the house - "SLYTHERIN!" was what had been shouted out to the great hall. in that moment, a lot of students were shocked over the fact that a potter had been sorted into slytherin. when albus had gotten up from the stool to go to the slytherin table, he was not welcomed as much as he would have been, had it been gryffindor or even ravenclaw.
from that moment, he was considered different from the rest of his family. being in the slytherin house made him understand the families of the former death eaters better than most of his family members would have. how they had so many expectations set upon them much as he had (from the media/rest of the wizarding world mainly). as the years passed, albus has grown a bit distant from his family due to his association with slytherin. he still cares about them deeply though has a different perspective on things conflicting his feelings of what is right when he is surrounded by such different views. the idea of power was something that has led to him being so conflicted especially since his brother, james has gotten so much. the invisibility cloak, the marauders map. things have changed since the beginning when albus would take the taunts from his brother, resulting in jealousy growing between the two.
