You know what I was thinking about when I heard that quote from
the first book? In the fifth book, Sirius said that he was Molly's
second cousin by marriage and Arthur's second cousin once removed.
No one talks about the "second cousin accountant"...but what if
that was made up because no one wanted to talk about Sirius Black?
Also, we have been told that James was a pureblood. Technically if
James was a pureblood, isn't he related to the Blacks and the
Weasleys? That would be hot- if Harry and Ron ended up being
related...but that wouldn't be that great for Ginny and Harry....

Sherry now:
I don't know the laws in the UK, and come to think of it, I'm not sure of
them exactly here either. However, relatives who are only distantly related
can marry. in fact, maybe, as close as second and third cousins in some
areas. i've never considered it much, since i wouldn't be interested in any
of my cousins that way, but even if Harry and Ginny were distantly related,
they could still marry, I'm sure. nice theory though.
