miggs: Is there going to be a new minister of magic in the next books?
JK Rowling replies -> Yes. Ha! Finally, a concrete bit of 
information, I hear you cry!

hope this means Arthur is getting his due.  Also, hope it indicates 
that Fudge is in fact a DE as I have theorized!

ARYA NOW:  Don't you think someone like Amelia Bones is much more 
likely to make the jump to MoM?  I mean Arthur is only the head of 
very small (two-man) department...

Jami: Is Harry related to Godric Gryffindor?
JK Rowling replies -> People are always wondering who Harry might be 
related to. Maybe he is ;)
 
My theory here is that Harry and LV are related. Also Harry is 
related to Slyterin and Grffindor. Griffindor via james, and (nice 
little twist) Slytherin via Lily.  Green eyes, Slytherin house colors 
green and silver. Also may be the reason why Lv did not want to kill 
Lily as they are related and she is related to Slytherin!! In COS, 
Harry flet that Tom Riddle was vaguely familiar......

ARY NOW:  
Ah, this is also a FAVORITE question as I ASKED IT!!  : )  I haven't 
stopped grinning since!!  YAY!  Okay, settling down now...I think it 
means he does trace his blood back to Godric and that, as many have 
said, Voldemort traces his roots of the 'Dark Lord' back to SLytherin 
as well as his blood, that Harry's connection to Godric is linked to 
part of his Power as The One.  It's all about Gryffindor versus 
Slytherin to me...
