"I realize this lack of info on Harry's ancestors is probably part of
the 7-book plot, but it's curious to me that they've never tried to look
it up."

I was wondering about this too - we know something about the Dursleys,
and we could assume that Lily Potter's parents are dead (just because they
never show up) - but have we ever heard anything about James Potter's
family? I think it was mentioned that he came from an old wizarding
family? But apparently no close relatives or they would have come forward
to help Harry - or so you'd think. Of course there is always the chance
that there is the odd distant relative out there that Dumbledore and
co. have no idea about!

Great idea (forget who put it forward) about Harry's possibly being
related to Voldemort - that'd be an interesting plot twist!
