However Sirius just talked about his family. That doesnt mean that 
ron and Harry could not in fact be second cousins or something of 
the sort. JKR has yet to address Harry's family ties. If in fact, as 
it says in the OotP, that every pureblood wizarding family is 
interrelated. therefore even if the Weasley's and the Blacks are 
related by marriage, that does mean it is the same fo rthe Potter 
and Weasley family. While i am not saying that Ron is the cousin of 
Harry, rather I am postulating that if there is any closeness in 
blood between harry and ron's family, couldnt it put Harry off for 
any relationship with Ginny. I dont see Harry being so thrilled with 
dating a cousin, no matter how obscure. While it might make Harry 
and Ron closer, it could destroy the H/G shipp.
