IMO, if she's a witch, she doesn't acknowledge it to herself.  I.e. I don't 
think she's the thing protecting Harry.  She is WAY too hostile.  I do kind 
of like the idea of self-hating witches and wizards.  If magical folk are a 
feared and downtrodden minority, stands to reason a lot of them would be in 
the closet to themselves as well as the rest of the world.  Aunt P could be 
one such.

Anyhoo, like you I'd be disappointed if V and Harry proved to be related, 
and I was happy to see JKR say, dismissively it seemed to me, "that would be 
a bit Star Wars, wouldn't it?"
