To which I reply:
If you look at the original start of this thread by Evangelina839 and 
my reply to it, you can see how close (we think) Severus to Lucius 
can be (either nephew-uncle, or nephew-nephew). And then Severus is 
at least related to the Blacks by marriage of Narcissa Black to 
uncle/nephew Lucius.
