"Your mother's sacrifice made the bond of blood the strongest shield 
I could give you....He shed her blood, but it lives on in you and 
her sister.  Her blood became your refuge." (Dumbledore, OoP, p836 
US)  If Voldemort and Lily are related, the bond of blood wouldn't 
work to protect Harry against Voldemort.
