If in fact this is the title of the book and Storge is a theme of the 
upcoming book, then my humble guess would be that it will show that 
lack of Storge made Tom Riddle into LV, and the abundance is what 
will be what Harry uses to defeat him. We know if protects him as he 
is the boy who lived, and DD said something to the effect that it was 
Lily's love that saved him. It was Harry's ability to love that drove 
LV from his body in OOTP. 

I do not in anyway think Harry is related to LV in any way through 
family. They are however members of the same club: orphans who lost 
parents at an early age. The story show's how one grew up with this 
great festering anger becuase he lacked the Storge love, and turned 
this anger into a great and evil power. Do you really think LV cares 
if a wizard is pure, half or muggleborn?  He grabed the purebloods 
hatred of non-pure and used it to his advantage in order to instill 
hate, hate, hate. Then you have Harry, who survived and has great 
power because of this Storge love. Harry is very powerful, look at 
what he did before he knew he was a wizard. Also, Harry's ability to 
see the worth in everyone. He even came to understand Luna Lovegood. 

This could possibly tie into JKR's comment about the clues to books 6 
and 7 in the POA movie. What comes to mind is Lupins comment to Harry 
about Lily's ability to see the good or whatever in people.  And we 
all know Harry looks like James, and is so much like him but he has 
Lily's Eyes......

Hope this makes some sense
