I don't know if this has been brought up before, but there has been a 
lot of mention of the Weasley family's red hair recently.  So I did a 
little research.  Apparently there are two factors that are supposed 
to make a witch or wizard very powerful, according to legend.  They 
are Red Hair, and Six Fingers on one hand.  Anne Rice used this in 
her own series about witches (The Witching Hour, Lasher, & Taltos).  
The combination of the two in one person was supposed to be extremely 
rare, and powerful... and it is said that Anne Boleyn had both, 
though many argue that she had dark brown hair instead.  

So, we know that the Weasley's have red hair, Dumbledore did before 
turning silver, and Lily did.  I wonder if JKR will use the Sixth 
Finger in any of the characters yet to come.
