I do think it's possible that Lily is related to Voldemort.  But not his daughter (no matter how exciting and jaw dropping that would be).  I think it's more likely there's a relationship on the Muggle side.  Through Riddle's dad's family.  Lily is by all accounts (JKR's accounts too, not just in the books) a muggle born.  Voldemort is a half blood.  Suppose Tom Riddle the 1st (Voldemort's muggle father) had a sister.  She was a muggle just like he was.  Married a muggle named Evans.  Had kids named Evans.  They had kids too, Lily and Petunia.  Which would make Lily Voldemort's second cousin, right?  Pure speculation, of course, but just throwing in that it is possible for Lily to be related to Voldemort without going against canon.  Just related in a more distant way.
