Mmmh, that's certainly something I have never thought of before.
And quite believeable at that. I mean, I firmly believe in the 
theory that Harry and Voldemort are related.
My main point being there that in the books JKR goes on and on about 
the similarities between family members (no matter, if you take the 
Weasley hair, Lucius and Draco or Harry's resemblance to his father 
and mother) and then you are trying to tell me that Harry and Tom 
Riddle who "look alike" (Cos) don't have some connection? Even if 
it's only around several corners.

And I also think there is an eerie similarity between the Dursley's 
and Riddle's attitudes towards magic. Now, not to say that many 
other Muggles won't think bad about wizards but from the cases where 
we hear about it, it doesn't seem too much of a problem (Hermione's 
parents, the Creevey's parents, Seamus' father). 

Hmm, nothing further really that can support this idea (I think), 
but it'd certainly be an interesting twist.
