The real problem with canon characters, guys, is that a bunch of people have them and yet they don't communicate with each other about how they're related. Ron and Hermione can only have SO MANY grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Like Wenz said up there, peoples characters are related and they're unaware. While this happens sometimes in real life (I know two guys who turned out to be half-brothers, for example... I met one at work and one and school and it turned out that they shared a father and had never met each other.), realistically how many long-lost Potter cousins can there be?
It's much more fun and interesting to make up your own characters completely, or as Lissy said, having them related to lesser characters. Because, while we know that Harry only had the Dursleys for his family, we don't know a lot about the extended family of the minor characters. It's completely possible to be related to a MacMillan or a Boot or anything like that. |
