But why was Tom senior apparently living with his parents? If he'd been
widowed, the kids would be there, too... he seems to have been pretty much a
snob, and surely being a witch is not the only reason he could drop someone.
I'm betting Lily and Petunia are his granddaughters via another by-blow,
after Tom senior dumped Voldemort's mom. If I have my ages right.
