This is my first post, and admittedly is quite a useless post, but 
some of my thoughts over reading other people are here.

After reading many of the replies about JK's comments on Pertunia, 
it got me thinking.  Although Lily's grandparents were both muggles, 
as, apparently were her parents, doesn't mean than any great-
grandparents or even great-great-grandparents were.  I know it may 
seem far fetched, but, whether she's being truthful (unlikely), or 
using it as some form of reasoning(much more likely), Trelawney 
mentions that Seer blood often skips 3 generations, could it be so 
with magical blood? Maybe a squib, and then just plain muggles for a 
couple of generations, then a witch.  Yeah, I know, grasping at 
straws.

The whole last remaining decendent thing also got me thinking, if 
the above was true then lily could be a decendent of SS, until i 
realised that that would also make Harry one, and as he's remaining, 
this could not be so.  But GG, that could work.  We know from COS 
that Harry is a true Griffindor(pulling the sword from the hat), so 
maybe, through his mother's side he is a decendent.  Sword from a 
hat? kind of like King Arthur, Sword from a stone thing. It's a 
shame we already know from JKR herself that the half blood prince is 
not Harry.
