 Luna's father is the force behind the WW equivalent of the National 
 Enquirer and Aberforth is consistently referred to as a bit of an 
odd one. Could Aberforth be father or granfather to Luna?

me:
   I don't think so because in POA pg 454 Dumbledore, HRH are 
talking to Hagrid after the Rita Skeeter article Dumbledore says "my 
own brother, Aberforth, was prosecuted for practicing inappropriate 
charms on a goat. It was all over the papers, but did Aberforth 
hide? No, he did not! He held his head high and went about his 
business as usual! Of course, I'm not entirely sure he can read, so 
that may not have been bravery...."
  Since Dumbledore does not think his brother can read I think it 
would be highly unlikely that he could be Luna's father.
