Alla:

Sorry, Cindi. I do not want you to have nightmares :) but Dumbledore 
is not Harry's grandfather or relative, much as I would love to be 
true. :)

>From JKR website:

Professor Dumbledore is Harry's real grandfather/close relative of 
some description.
If Dumbledore had been Harry's grandfather, why on earth would he have 
been sent to live with the Dursleys?

Alla:
I **loved** that answer in a sense that JKR's only reason to send 
Harry to Dursleys was blood protection, but did wished JKR would not 
need to say that outside the books and mde it clearer within the 
books :)

Alla, who does agree with Jen that possibility of Dumbledore being the 
Heir was not squashed at all.
