colebiancardi:

a few years ago, I thought of this - that Snape & Lily had a
relationship, not as "lovers" or "unrequited" love stuff, but as
family relations - that they were distant cousins.

However, DD stated that Petunia was Harry's last living relative - in
OotP, he tells Harry "I put my trust, therefore, in your mother's
blood.  I delivered you to her sister, her only remaining relative" p
836, Am Ed Hardcover

So, I don't think, although I love the idea, that Snape is Harry's
distant second or third cousin removed....on ***his mother's side***

However, what about James?  Did he have any relatives?  Could Snape be
his cousin, several times removed?  I don't remember anything about
James' family, other than his parents were "older" and that they
weren't living anymore.  Could he have had someone in his family tree
that branched out and married a muggle?  Are we sure that Eileen
Prince is a pure-blood?  She might be a half-blood, like Snape.   Yes,
I know that Snape calls himself half-blood Prince, but his mum was a
witch and his dad was a muggle - so, in a way, it is still
"half-blood".  Any thoughts?  Any one with a better memory remember
the story behind James and relatives?
