I agree it's highly unlikely because of JKR saying it's too Star 
Wars, but just because someone isn't a direct descendant of someone 
doesn't mean to say they're not related. e.g. I'm not directly 
descended from my great uncle, but it doesn't make us any less 
related. To the best of my knowledge, nothing in canon rules out the 
possibility of the 4 founders of Hoggwarts being related in one way 
or another, which could throw up some interesting theories!!
