Pat here:

That has always fascinated me.  I have a hard back and a paper back 
that have both versions of it--descendant in the hard back (older 
version) and ancestor in the paper back (newer version).  The part 
that interests me about this change is that it was a "mistake" in 
the first printing, was corrected in the next printings, and then 
was put back as the mistake in still later versions.  And in one of 
the interviews, I think JKR refers to that as a "deliberate" 
mistake.  Huh?  I'm dying to know what she means by that. And then 
add all that to Tom Riddle saying that Voldemort is his past, 
present, and future. The connection to time turning is the most 
obvious, but do you think that this might be a red herring that she 
put in to throw us all off?  Hmmmm.
