With Voldemort, I could definately see his intention of killing Harry
and James as being about bloodlines and a prophesy, but I don't see
him as neccessarily related. 

I could see, for example, there being a prophesy about the heir of
Slytherin being defeated by the heirs of the other three houses, and
Voldemort systematically killing anyone decended from Gryffindor,
Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw (presuming Harry is decended from one of
the founders, such as Gryffindor, through his father).
