Abergoat adds:

Some people think the 'bit more' that we will learn about James
Potter's parents is that one of them descended from the inventor of
the Golden Snitch (the inventor lived in Godric's Hollow when he
invented it per JKR's charity books).  I thought this was a fun idea
because it explains the 'wealth' that James inherited and also his
'nicking' snitches as seen in book 5. James is a chaser not a seeker
so his doodling snitches and playing with them could be a hint at a
family connection.
