I had pretty much the same thought, though she might give us a
short explanation of how he's Harry's fifth cousin, twice
removed or something, and will have absolutely no influence on
the plot.

Whatever the answer, I agree entirely that we shouldn't expect
/any/ of the questions in the poll to actually contain spoilers
of any kind - that the question wouldn't be there if there was
any kind of spoiler in the answer.
