Two things in particular interested me: his 1492 birthdate and the 
fact that it was pointed out that he was the son of a non-wizard 
father and a witch.  1492 is obviously significant as the year 
Christopher Columbus discovered America. In reward, Spain granted 
Columbus the  right to bear arms in 1493.  Columbus' coat of arms 
was divided into four quadrants, the second of which bore a *lion.*  
Heir of Gryffindor theory, anyone? >>>

Do you think that it would also then be significant that Sir Nearly 
Headless Nick was beheaded in 1492? Perhaps Bowman Wright was the 
son of Sir Nearly Headless Nick - and Nick was beheaded for his 
fling with a witch?

>>> Specifying that Wright was the son of a Muggle father and a 
witch  mother is interesting in that, if he really is an ancestor of 
James Potter, it reveals that James Potter's wizarding lineage is 
not "pure- blood." Perhaps this explains why Tom Riddle calls Harry 
a "half- blood" in CoS Ch. 17.  It's also interesting that Wright 
has the same  parentage as Voldemort - witch mother and Muggle 
father.<<<

I would have thought that if James' lineage had 500 years worth of 
pureblood, that would be sufficient even by Voldemorts standards, 
wouldn't it? But I also believe that Bowman Wright is linked to the 
Potters - perhaps James' ancestral wealth was inherited from Mr 
Wright.
