makes a point of telling Harry that they look a lot alike.  Now, I 
think it highly unlikely that it's one of those Luke-I-am-your-father 
situations.  Rowling also points out how very much Harry looks like 
his dad.  Are they related somehow?  My husband has never read the 
books and has only seen the movie and when I mentioned this to him he 
made an interesting suggestion.  What if Voldemort is Harry's 
grandfather?  Oooh, it's so fun to speculate!  Anyway, I really 
believe there must be something to the fact that Harry resembles Tom 
Riddle.  I'd be interested to hear what others think about this.

I'm a firm believer in Voldemort being Harry's grandfather.  I think 
Tom Riddle sired James Potter.  My scenario goes like this: Voldemort 
wanted to kill at least James because he had heard a prediction that 
a son of James would one day be his downfall.  If he could kill 
Harry, and James to prevent him siring other sons, then he could 
avoid his fate.  I call this the fatal child theory (see my post 
38784).  It does explain why Voldemort and Harry look somehat alike 
and why Voldemort wouldn't care whether Lily died.
