I really favour this theory for many reasons (maybe some was allready 
written, so if it is, plese don't AK me ):
perseus is a character of the greek mythology an JK often uses names 
that are telling names... Hedwig, Minerva, Albus .... an it woult fit 
that he is a half-brother of lilly and petunia. not convinced yet? 
well here is something like a proove:

Perseus is the son of Zeus, the king of the Greek gods, and a mortal 
woman. The woman's husband, Polydectes, king of Seriphos, was 
naturally angry, but when your wife has an affair with a god, what 
can you do? So, instead, when Perseus grew up Polydectes sent him on 
what he believed was an impossible quest. The king sent his step-son 
out to kill Medusa, one of three sisters called the Gorgons who were 
so ugly, anyone who looked at them would turn to stone. He appealed 
to the gods for help and was given a mirrored shield by Athena, the 
goddess of wisdom, and a pair of winged sandals by Hermes (also know 
as Mercury), the messenger of the gods. Perseus flew using the 
sandals to find Medusa. When he found her, he did not look at her. 
Instead, he used the reflection in the shield to guide his sword so 
he could behead her as she slept. As she died, the white, winged 
horse Pegasus sprang from her neck. 
On his way back from his victory against the Gorgons, Perseus came 
across a woman chained to a rock, waiting to be sacrificed to a sea 
monster, called either Cetus or Draco, depending on which version of 
the myth you believe. This woman was Andromeda, the Princess. Her 
mother, Cassiopeia boasted that she and her daughter were more 
beautiful than the Nereids (or sea nymphs), which were the daughters 
of Poseidon (or Neptune), the god of the sea. Angered by the insult 
to his daughters, Poseidon sent floods to the lands ruled by 
Cassiopeia and her husband, King Cepheus. Cepheus consulted an oracle 
who told him that the only way to quell Poseidon's anger was to 
sacrifice his daughter. 

Luckily, Perseus came on the scene just in the nick of time and 
killed the sea monster and saved the princess. 

this would explain why he tried to save the potters, his "problems" 
with serious and the ending of PoA, why he is trying to save harry 
and why he is "no friend" of James--> he set his sister into danger!

it also fits to the theory of severus being a vampire:
he not a vampire at all but a half-vampire ba having a father who was 
a vampire (maybe called Aris? [greek god of war].

so pleas let me know what you think of this ....
