Me:

DD can't be Harry's grandfather. In the beginning of SS/PS, 
McGonagall never says she's so sorry DD's son was killed. And in 
fact, DD says himself "I've come to bring Harry to his aunt and 
uncle. They're the only family he has left now." Family includes 
anyone even remotely related to you.

I think Voldy killed all the Potters over time, and I mean ALL - at 
least the ones still left over from V's ancestor's not killing them. 
After all, they are the heirs to Gryffindor, which means they are 
the "official" fighters of evil. Okay, okay... it's all theory, but 
I'm pretty much convinced I will be proven correct in OoP.

Harry is the last one, the one the entire WW is counting on to save 
them. That's what DD has to tell him (besides the other messy stuff 
about his parents, of course). Hmmm... starting to sound like "The 
Matrix"...
