Actually, I was thinking about this earlier and have a different 
possibility...

Dumbledore is estimated to be 150 years old. His brother is probably 
close to or equal to the same age (I don't think we've been told that 
they are twins, but I could be wrong.)

When Harry first looks into the Mirror of Erised, he sees 10 people 
with green eyes. Ancestors? We aren't sure since nothing says that 
the Mirror shows true images.

We do know from J.K. Rowling that the green eyes and his mother's 
background are going to be important. We also have Dumbledore in SS 
stating that the first question Harry asks after meeting 
Quirrel/Voldemort is the one question Dumbledore can't answer yet.

We also know that Albus Dumbledore had red hair 50 years ago from the 
memories of Tom Riddle's Diary. Which could mean his brother had red 
hair too...So, another possibility is that Albus or his brother is 
Harry's Great or Great-great grandfather. 

I'd lean more towards Albus' brother since at the end of OOP Albus 
makes a point of saying that his mistake was not recognizing that he 
was beginning to care too much. If Harry was his own great/great-
great grandson. I'm guessing that he wouldn't have been able to try 
his plan.
