Welcome to the forum! A fun idea people have had is that Harry is the
last descendant of the inventor of the Golden Snitch. JKR's charity
books say that the snitch was invented in Godric's Hollow some 600
years ago. Add to this that James 'nicks' snitches, toys with them,
doodles them on his exams and we are left to wonder why a Quidditch
Chaser spends so much time obsessing over a snitch...

JKR says James parents will be mentioned in book seven but are not
critical to the story...I wonder if the information about them will be
regarding their ancestry. And the possible acquisition of a sword? I
don't think Harry's the heir of Godric Gryffindor, but that doesn't
mean his family couldn't have (had) the sword...and it nicely explains
what Voldemort had planned to use for the horcrux that night at
Godric's Hollow.
