You know, I kept reading that passage over and over again in OotP 
searching for some kind of hidden meaning.  Some deep symbolism (the 
smashing of the "spider" attempting to draw Harry's blood with a 
book about blood lines.) Still could be something to it.  I'm just 
too thick to reason it out.

Of course, you could be right (and probably are) about the book 
providing valuable blood line information in the future.  Most 
likely JKR brought this book to our attention for a reason.
