Ok, since I have read all the responces, this has a little to do with 
several.  First of all, when relating Harry's living relations, 
Voldemort may not be living, but the weasleys certainly are.  If 
Harry had a child with Ginny, and Ginny is living, that would make 
them relations, even if not by blood.  Also, if the weasleys are 
decendants of slytherin, then Harry would be related to them this way 
too. 
   Secondly, the quote where the word ancestor was used, while that 
is simply the stupidest mistake I can think of,  it does seem to be a 
mistake.  If Harry is Voldemort's dad, I still don't see how that 
makes Slytherin his descendant. Slytherin lived more than a thousand 
years ago,  Voldemort was born about 70 years ago, and if Harry is 
his father, he can not be Slytherin's ancestor.  
   Thirdly, can you immagine how many turns it would take on a time 
turner to take you back 70 years, not to mention taking you back far 
enough to be slytherin's ancestor? 
   Lastly, if Ginny is Voldemort's mom, then why doesn't he have any 
weasley features?  he doesn't look at all like a weasley, and why 
would he want to kill his mom in cos,  which also brings up the 
question, if he couldn't kill his dad, how could he come so close to 
killing his mom?  He grew stronger as she grew weaker, it would make 
more sence that he would also be erasing his life as she grew weaker. 
I am not saying this theory isn't good, just that i have problems 
with it. If you have anwsers to these questions, (especially the part 
about killing his mom) i would love to hear it.
