I'll have to go home and look at that. It seems like all the quotes 
here have quoted only the first part, "They're the only family he 
has." Period. Full stop. And then there's your quote with that most 
interesting word on the end. "They're the only family he has **now**."

Time turners exist. **When** else did Harry have family that has 
*now* arrived in LW? Could ME be an ancestor or, (gulp), a 
descendant? 

THe whole ME thing is too coincidental to be merely a coincidence. I 
just read a short review of the "Clues to Book 5" book, and some of 
the "rules" they live by is that 1) there are no coincidences, 2) 
characters lie or are mistaken, except that Hermione is right unless 
she's emotional and Ron is wrong unless he's joking, 3) if it's 
reinforced, JKR wants us to remember it, and 4) if it's interrupted, 
it's important. 

That whole ME episode was interrupted by two rather nasty Dementors.
