I knew this was coming, though I've only been here quite a short time 
(sorry, didn't have the manners to introduce myself in my first 
post... ;). Anyway, I've had the same thought and I SINCERELY hope 
JKR has more imagination/sense than to fall into the trap of "Harry, 
I am your father" -nonsense. And judging from OoP, I think she has. 
Hasn't the message been there throughout the book? It doesn't matter 
who you're related to, you still get to choose your friends. And it's 
your choises that count, right? After this it would just be too lame 
to state that Harry and Voldemort are related. Big deal.

Come to think of it, if all the magical families are interrelated, 
they probably are somehow, too. But please let it not be "Harry, I am 
your Grandad" or anything like that. If it comes down to this, I'll 
be very disappointed indeed.
