Never underestimate the power of denial.

Personally, I hope that Vernon turns out to be the distant Weasley 
cousin who is an accountant, and of whom they Never Speak.  After 
all, directors of companies are usually accountants.

For me, the main merit of this theory is that an H/H ending does not 
prevent Harry being part of One Big Sappy Weasley Family after all.

Bwahahahahaha!
