>>> I think this is a question of semantics isn't it? I think what
Chris means is that there is a "relationship" between Harry and
another person rather than them being "relations". As we have
said, Sirius is not a blood relation of Harry although being a
godfather should imply a close relationship which brings him near
to being a relation if you take my point.<<<
SSSusan again:
>> So do you see my point, Geoff? That we're really not a whole lot
nearer to figuring anything out from this pattern if the only clue
is "a person with a relationship to Harry". I had thought maybe
Chrisp was thinking of something quite specific when he
wrote "related to Harry", which is why I went fishing for
clarification in the first place. I wasn't arguing semantics; I
was trying to find out what Chrisp had in mind.
Does that clarify?<<

SSSusan:
Okay, let's play the game. :-) With that definition, probably the
entire Weasley clan, Hermione, the Dursleys, Lupin, Hagrid, and DD.
Possibly Neville.
Who do you think?
And, chrisp, step in here any time and tell us if we're way off
course!
