Potioncat:
The first post revived the Perseus Evans rumor (Severus Snape) Here's 
a link for the Greek myth about Perseus. It includes a Phineas and an 
Andromeda.
http://www.pantheon.org/articles/p/perseus.html

I would add that JKR has said many times that Lily does not have any 
living relatives. So if Snape is Perseus Evans, he must be related to 
Marc Evans's family rather than to Lily's.  :-) Also, we have records 
of Snape being born as Snape, not as Perseus Evans. Snape doesn't 
bear much resemblence to Perseus who is young, strong and brave.

But, adding the myth to Lupinlore's suggestion gives me a bit of cold 
chills. Perseus and his mother were cast out by her father because a 
prophesy said that Danae's father would be killed by his grandson. 
Sure enough, quite by accident the grown up Perseus kills his 
grandfather. And the grown up Snape kills Dumbledore. 

Very interesting, but it reminds me of the articles that show up 
every now and now which compare the Kennedy/Johnson and 
Lincoln/Johnson periods of history. All of them are meaningless 
really, some are sort of Twilight-Zone-like and some are just plain 
silly.

Potioncat, who fears this post doesn't have much of a point. But bets 
JKR knows who Perseus is.
