I, Melanie's, reply:

Hmm that is a very intriguing question, one I had a huge debate on last night.  I believe it's a latent gene.  I am not really sure how else one could justify it.  I mean it runs in families, but I think that someone like Lily or Hermione had a person in their family (even if it was highly distant) that was a which or a wizard.  
   
Hmm I hope that wasn't too pathetic for a first post.
