Ponderings on relations & timeturners

There has been so much discussion on the lists since OOTP that I have missed 
a lot of it, so pardon me if this has already been addressed.  But I've been 
wondering about a couple things.


1.  Sirius' comment that all pureblood families are interrelated.  Assuming,  
as I think most do, if it is not fact - that Snape is from a pureblood 
family, what about the theory that he might be related to Sirius, or Harry - While I 
like the Perseus Evans theory, in case that doesn't pan out, is it too "out 
there" to think he could still end up related to James, Sirius, or other 
characters.  I'm especially thinking Sirius, since it seems both family's were into 
the Dark Arts judging by Sirius' comments in OOTP, and Snape supposedly 
knowing so much of the DA by the time he got to Hogwarts.


2.  Time-turner.  I wonder sometimes, if at the end of the series, JKR might 
have the timeturner used to go back and change the whole beginning of the 
series.  Are there limits on the timeturner?  It would seem it could be used to go 
back and correct a lot of problems, stopping the rise of LV, etc.  Perhaps 
that's how D'Dore knows how things will turn out and lets Harry get into 
dangerous situations, knowing he can use the TT to go back and help in the case that 
Harry & Co. fails.

Just wondering if anyone else had any thoughts or insight on these topics.
