If your theory is correct, and TMR is a twin, wouldn't that twin
had also been a wizard?...assuming of course that we are talking
about identical twins. Chances are they would have met at
Hogwarts, because from what I understand, Hogwarts is the only
wizarding school in the UK. If we are talking about fraternal
twins, and the other twin is not a wizard, then the whole twin
thing is a moot point. Now, if his "twin" who was not a wizard
had a child that turned out to be a wizard that would be a very
interesting twist, because that child may be at Hogwarts at the
same time as HP! Voldy's nephew at Hogwarts with HP..that
would be interesting to see!
