Not necessarily, Dina.  Riddle has two parents after all.  Let me paint you 
this picture: Riddle(Voldemort)'s mother is the witch that comes from the 
ancient line of Slytherin, and his father is the Muggle with blood relation 
to the Evans's.  That's why the name "Riddle" sounds familiar to Harry.  
Riddle is a Muggle name, hence someone on Harry's maternal (Muggle) side of 
the family.

That's not to say that the Potters couldn't somehow be related to 
Riddle(Voldemort)'s maternal (Wizard) side.  Wouldn't that be a trip, if 
Harry's mom were related to V's dad, and Harry's dad related to V's mom??  
Gosh, I've never thought of that before.  Has anyone else?
