Geez, I pack up the 'puter for 3 days in order to move and I come back
to a bazillion posts!

My Theory:

We know that Lily Potter has red hair and green eyes, but do not know
her maiden name. She is also a Muggle-born witch.

Mrs. Weasley has a 2nd cousin (or something) who is an accountant,
but they never talk about him.

My theory on Muggle-born witches/wizards is that they have a recessive
magic gene that pops up (like one blue-eyed child in a family of all
brown). Lily and Petunia's family history contains magic and Lily got
the gene. So what about somehow Lily's family and Mrs Weasley's (we don't
know Molly's maiden name either) family are somehow related? That would
make Harry part of the Weasley family (although he sort of already is).
