Harrys' ancestry.

Hello everyone,

   I dont post here much, but this is something that just occured to 
me this morning, and the more I thought about it, the more it made 
sense. So I am hoping that those of you who are more versed in 
Cannon than I, can either help prove or disprove my theory. And I 
also dont know if this has been discussed before, if it has my 
apologies for rehashing what has already been hashed thouroughly ;) 

   So here it is. We know all about everyones ancestry in the 
Potterverse. We even see how the pureblood lines are so intermingled 
( Via the Black family tree in OotP ), we know that Petunia is 
Lily's only surviving family member. But what about James? We know 
nothing at all about his family. And wasnt he supposed to be a 
pureblood? ( I dont remember if this was discussed in Cannon or 
not.. ) or is that just an assumption because Harry is called a 
mixed blood? We know that Lily was muggleborn, but was James 
pureblood? We even know about Voldemort's parentage. But we dont 
have any clue as to James background/parentage that I can recall. 

   JKR has constantly hit us over the head with how important family 
is, and how Lily's love saved Harry by putting the charm on him when 
she was killed to protect him. Dumbledore, who knows more about 
everyone that we have been let on, insists that love is what will 
help Harry win against Voldemort. But how? How will Love kill 
Voldemort? ( maybe kill is the wrong word. Defeat... ) 

   Everyone also speculates, based on Cannon, about the power that 
Harry seems to have. Alot of references to how they were gotten from 
LV etc. What if they werent transfered via the AK curse?.....

   What if... Voldemort turns out to be a relative of Harrys? Not 
the "Luke I am your father" type of thing, but what about 
Grandfather? IMO that would explain a bunch of different things that 
are happening and need to happen for this to play out in a "nice" 
manner ( take nice to mean whatever you want... hahah ) I just find 
it so hard to believe that we know so much about the WW in general, 
and the families involved, and down to the history of many of the 
families ( Black, Riddle, Malfoy, Weasley, Crouch etc etc... ) why 
dont we know more about Harry? Heck, we see more generations of 
Nevilles family in Cannon than we do Harry's. And more specifically 
James'. 

   So, thats it. I had it more clearly thought out earlier, with 
more instances for support, but work has driven some of them from my 
mind :( My apologies.

   I would love to hear from everyone on this one.
