While re-reading passages of the Order of the Phoenix I took the 
time to chart out the geneology of Harry Potter through Sirus Black. 
There are some startling things in this line of blood. As Ollivander 
would say "curious, very curious."  What's curious-

in Chaper 6 of the Phoneix book, Harry Potter discovers through 
sirus that there are family connections to both the Weasley's and 
the Malfoys. It appears that Narcissa, a sister to Andromeda (a 
cousin), married Lucius and then came Draco.  It also shows in this 
geneology that Arther and Molly Weasley are cousins of Sirus, 
unknown to Ron and his siblings at this time of course. 

What I found interesting about the Weasley's is what Sirus tells 
Harry when he finds their names among the blood lines:

(page 113, Order of the phoenix)- "if ever there were a bunch of 
blood traitors, it's the Weasleys".   It is an interesting paradox 
when you consider the character of Percy Weasley and his betrayal of 
the family and the followers of Dumbledore.  It is a curious detail 
in deed.

Later in the book, towards the end, Harry learns about his life 
prophecy.  He learns that the only one who can touch the prophecy is 
the person whom it is about. You will remember when it was taken at 
the Dept. of Mysteries that NEVILLE LONGBOTTOM picked it up. The 
prophecy was marked "Harry Potter,?"  The prophecy stated that a boy 
born at the end of July, denied Voldemort three times, was marked 
and made equal to Voldemort in strength would rise up to put an end 
to it.  Harry meets the prophecies telling, however, NEVILLE was 
also born at the same time of Harry Potter and has his parents in 
St. Mungos for cruciatus curse gone wrong thanks to Voldemorts 
followers and now lives with his grandmother.  Neville also appears 
to act somewhat backward and clumsy, often forgetful of things he 
should know.  Perhaps he is truly himself, maybe something more lies 
there from his parents attack, only unlike Harry who is scar 
bearing, Neville suffers in other ways.  

It is curious indeed.
