As for how many would it take to get the inbred effect, well, just look at 
the Gaunt family.  I know we weren't told how many generations were before 
them, but maybe we were.

Just remembered something that may affect your opinions of the Gaunts mental 
states, certainly Marvolo anyway. Marvolo Gaunt was wearing his ring, which 
we know was the Resurrection Stone. Is it not possible that part or all of 
his madness was caused by the ring, as was told in the story of The Three 
Brothers?
