Me:

I was thinking maybe Voldemort *was* related to Lily, through his 
muggle dad's family.  That might explain why Petunia is willing to 
protect Harry even though she loathes him...maybe by staying there, 
he's protecting her and Dudley?  That's v. far fetched, but it crept 
into my mind anyway.
