<<<<What if Narcissa is a member of Lily and Petunia's (flower-named)
family???>>

I like that theory! Hmmmm. Evidence is mounting for Petunia being a
squib, but it's odd that Narcissa wasn't mentioned as being Petunia's
sister right at the beginning. The Dursley's make a huge fuss about
"The Potters", but don't mention the "The Malfoys" in the same vein. >>


I do too. But I also have a question about it, the same one as the
on-going question about the Weasleys being related to Lily. What about
the Dursleys being Harry's only living relatives?

Of course, maybe Dumbledore wanted to keep Harry from being raised
in a family so oriented to the dark arts. I wonder what Harry would
have been like had he been raised by the Malfoys. Would he have been
another Draco? Or would his strength of character have prevailed (the
same character that kept him from being embittered by the Dursleys)?

Just some random thoughts,
