So Voldemort and Harry were distantly related....

[Fleur Evette]

In a recent interview Jo said:

Quote:

J.K. Rowling: Yes, Harry and Voldemort are distantly related through the Peverells.
J.K. Rowling: Of course, nearly all wizarding families are related if you trace them back through the centuries. As was made clear in 'Deathly hallows', Peverell blood would run through many wizarding families.

i read, but still can't believe it. It just sounds to weird to me.  

[Fleur Evette]

I always knew he was somehow related to Voldemort. But of course all the pure-blood families are related somehow.

...all the pure-blood families are related somehow.

Exactly. I figure even Ron and Draco are somewhat related if you go back far enough along thier bloodlines.

It makes good sense I think. Though its not like it influences anything much >.>

Kiddie Riddle and Harry look too similar not to somehow be related.

But yeah... all wizards are, so aye...

yea. i knew that. but i deep down thought that harry and dumblesore were related. maybe they are......  

[Hammie_Lover]

It did say in one of the books that all the pure bloods were in some way all related.But Voldemort's a half blood ... i think that still counts, cause his mom, (i think!) was a witch. XD  

[Wolves_Witches_and_Love]

well if you think about it.. all the families that want to keep there Blood line Pure are going to have to marry someone else from another pure blood family. So of course every family is going to be some how related. if you trace it back far enough.. its just like the Black family and the Malifoys. there related. and then if you put in everyone who isn't pure blood. then Basically every one is Linked by someone else... Like Tonks is part of the Black family, the Lupin family and then theres Draco's Family. I'm not really surprised that Vodemort and Harry are distantly related.

I think they'd be extremely distant cousins or something like that.  

[MarcyME]

i noticed it in the books, but yeah, i guess i wasnt the only one who noticed that.  

[SirKyleIII]

yeah i saw that family tree on wikipedia after i read the book. i saw that arther weasleys father had married someone from the black family. i found that to be very odd. i also saw that george had a son named fred but it doesnt show who he married. anybody know who it was?  

[popularchris]

it is really hard to believe but u never kno.......  

[Xx-Victoire Weasley-xX]

Yeah, I said that to a few people but htey said I was looking too much into the story, but I knew I was right! biggrin

It's all pretty incestuous if you ask me >.>
