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!
