I must admit, I hadn't quite thought of it like that. I just 
theorized that the link was made between GG and SS and that this 
affected subsequent generations. But if HP and Voldemort are direct 
blood brothers then I suppose the GG/SS theme is redundant. I do like 
the thought that HP has benefited from the blood transfer, whilst 
Voldemort has not. I am becoming increasingly convinced that the end 
of the series will involve HP willingly possessing Voldemort 
(although that may be a bit too like the end of the Matrix!!)
