That's a pretty broad generalization eggplant.  I agree with you that
it's probably rare, but .... impossible is an awfully strong word.

If I follow this relationship correctly, this would make Harry &
Hermione first cousins, once removed.  The "once removed" business means
that Harry & Hermione are of different generations.  Which, of course,
makes sense, given what you've proposed above.  In order for your
example to be correct, Hermione's father would be the same generation as
Harry's maternal grandparents.  Hermione would technically be the same
generation as Lily (Evans) Potter in this example.  This *is* possible .
. . . but really not all that likely IMO.

I think you're grasping at straws genealogically to create a "cousins"
relationship between Harry & Hermione.  If there is a familial
relationship between Harry & Hermione, the 2nd cousins example from
yesterday seems much more likely in my mind.
