Perhaps a supporting point -- sometime in GoF, after the Daily Prophet
article on Hagrid has come out, Dumbledore briefly refers to his own
brother. He notes in particular that the brother had got into some
trouble for practicing improper incantations with a goat (or something
like that).  The part about improper incantations is of enough concern
by itself, but the reference to a goat feels a bit, well, satanic.

Further, Dumbledore says he is not even sure if his brother could
read, which seems consistent with being a bit distant from the family.
 Then again, perhaps it was the brother who was the black sheep.
