Maybe I'm spending too much time around the Greek Mythology section 
of the Library, but I was reading the "HPFGU Fantastic posts" ON 
McGonagall and happened about the section on shipping.
I thought: Sybill. Minerva. Both names are in the mythological vein 
Could they be sisters? Given that the sisters ( Lily/Petunia/
(Narcissa??) and Parvati/Padma) share flowers as a name source and 
ever-so-popular the "Name-the-Weasley" game, JKR seems to keep 
fmailies ordered under a certain name scheme.

Maybe they're muggle-born/half-blood/Squib-children, wouldn't it 
make Minerva all the more flustered when her little sister gets into 
Hogwarts and has the ever-so questionable ( but great fun at dinner 
parties)(or not, if you're not Sybill) talent of seeing. Then she 
goes on and gets a job at Hogwarts with one lucky prophecy when 
Minerva might have to work and work at refining her Animagus skills.

Or other way around... Big sister Sybill is used to getting special 
attention for being the witch of the family, but really can't do 
much more than see grimms in tea leaves. Along comes little Minerva, 
transfiguring teacups during the holidays, who eventually learns to 
perform parlor trick ( "...awww look at the kitty..." "Didn't we see 
that exact cat mewling outside of Snape's door last night??...")
and comes to surpass Sybill to be next in line is the Hogwarts 
future headmaster hierarchy ( despite the fact that Sybill has one 
prophecy under her belt and many more years of seniority over 
Minerva.
