Lily's parents are Muggles but her Grandpa Evans was a Squib passing
as a Muggle. <snip> Age ten? Evans? It can't be a coincidence. He has
to be a prospective Hogwarts student somehow related to Harry and
having a shared Squib relative (himself the child of a witch and a
wizard) in the family not many generations back ties up all the loose
ends for me.

Carol, Did you read the answer to the FAQ at JKR's site?  All I can
say is 'Boo...'

Carol again:
Someone from the main site alerted me to the bad news and I vented my
anguish there. Oh, the humiliation! How dare she deceive us! and all
that. But after a second reading of her FAQ response, I loved its
self-deprecating humor and forgave her. I think (hope) she'll be
careful not to make a mistake of that kind again. But I admit to being
a bit less willing to explore odd clues now, or at least to get my
hopes up about them.

My condolences to you and Alice and anyone else who invested time and
effort in this theory. <sniff> (At least I'm not in on the Droobles
best blowing gum theory, which I think will be the next one to be popped.)

Carol
