Any skeletons in the Potter family closet?

An idea I have been toying with for some time, that would tie in with 
my theory that the central theme of the series is thinking for 
yourself-making the right choices is this:  what if the Potter family 
has not always been good?  What effect could this kind of information 
have on Harry?  However, the brick wall I always hit when I give this 
idea any thought is this:  wouldn't everybody in the WW know if some 
of the Potters had been  on the wrong side?  Surely Malfoy would use 
this information to torment Harry-if he indeed knew it-and if it were 
public knowledge, how could he help but know it?  Are there any ideas 
out there concerning this theory of a not-so cleancut Potter family 
tree?  Please let me here them.
