More on Harry's Family

Hi --

It occurred to me later that as long as we're talking about genealogical
possibilities of a family relationship between Harry & Hermione, we
should also consider the same scenario for Harry and the Weasleys.

It's just as likely (and possibly more so given the "red hair"
speculations) that Lily's mother's maiden name could have been Weasley
or whatever Molly Weasley's maiden name was.  Under this scenario, Harry
would be 2nd cousins (or 1st cousins, once removed -- depending on which
eggplant scenario you go with) with the Weasleys, *including* Ginny.
:--)

Of course, if Dumbledore is refusing to let Harry go straight to the
Weasleys because of the protections of the "ancient magic" that he's
summoned to protect Harry as long as he's with blood relatives, then it
seems unlikely that the Weasleys are connected up with Harry's family.
But, the same thing holds true for the Grangers.  Even if Dumbledore
were somehow not aware of a connection between the Grangers & Lily
(Evans) Potter, it stands to reason that Hermione herself would know.
She seems the type to know all about her family, even if she had to
research it herself in the event her parents were closed-mouthed about
their families.
