Or ... Hermione and Harry are first cousins.  James had a sister who 
was, of course, the love interest of one Severus Snape.  James 'put 
his foot down' to a relationship between the two but they went ahead 
with a relationship in secret.  However as Snape became more 
involved with the DL he feared for her safety and for her sake 
feigned boredom/regret/disillusionment/whatever with their 
relationship and foresook her.  Abandoned by the one she loved, 
pregnant to boot and too humiliated to go to her brother (having 
been right about the SOB all along), she flees to the muggle world 
to have her baby.  In a tragic turn of events she dies during 
childbirth or shortly after and the baby girl is put up for 
adoption ... (is that too reminiscent of Tom Riddle's story?)  James 
and Snape are equally to blame for her self imposed exhile and each 
blame the other for their loss, however neither know of the 
existence of a baby (nor anyone else). 

Hermione Snape and Harry Potter == first cousins

How's that?
