In "The Mists of Avalon" (my favorite Arthurian novel to date), Morgaine 
(Morgana/Morgan/Morgause) is Arthur's half-sister by Igraine's first 
marriage to the duke of Cornwall, Gorlois -- which is I believe, what 
happens in most of the versions of the tale. But, yes, Mordred is the result 
of a union between Arthur and Morgaine/Morgana/ad finitum. There are 
obviously many difference accounts of the Arthurian legend, but TMA is my 
favorite. :)

I supposed that Arthur and Molly were related extremely distantly, on 
opposite sides of Sirius's family tree.

Accolon/Morgaine forever! :D
