Sirius has already told us the obvious: most of the old wizard
families *are* related.  In a small world like the wizard world, it's
inevitable.  The WW does get infusions of new blood from the Muggle

families of Europe.  On a planet where Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter
are sixth cousins, anything's possible.
