Jo:

I like the idea of "Uncle Voldie", Tom Riddle Snr as Lily and Petunia's father. I can picture Harry and Petunia having a blazing argument culminating in an Eastender's-esque "He's my brother!!!". This might also go some way towards redeeming the Dursley's. So far Voldemort has killed Petunia's father (maybe) and sister so no wonder they're all a bit cagey, they may feel as though they are next in line. I mean look how they reacted to Dudley's dementor attack.

Yes my theory is more cliched than an episode of Dawson's Creek. I believe that Voldemort's evil is rooted firmly in bitterness at his upbringing in an orphanage as compared to the happiness shared by his father's "other" family. The hesitation in killing Lily was because she is his half-sister. 

 

JO, who thinks there are too many people called Susan
