I agree with you Melanie, there are, after all on average 4 types of colours 
for hair and eyes.  For most people hair is either Brown, Blond, Red or black. 
 As for eyes there are only Green, blue, brown and hazel.  I know there are 
more colours than that but all in all loads of people are going to have black 
hair or brown hair etc.  I dont think it means that they are related.  I mean, 
Draco and Ron are related but look at the difference:  Ron has red and brown 
eyes, Draco has blond hair and grey/blue eyes.

Ive never thought of anyone being related to one another unless it says so.  
And like Melanie said, just because some people have the same features doesn't 
mean they have to be related.

Who doesnt believe that Dumbledore is related to Lily.
Or that Harry is related to Voldemort
Or that Lily is related to the Weasleys
Etc etc  ALL IMHO
