Is Harry related to Voldemort? - Page 2

Fimbrethil · 05-11-2003, 02:46 PM

If Harry was related toto Voldie then why would he try and kill him? Wouldn't he have taken him and raised him to be a dark wizard? I mean that does make more sense.

I don't think so. I mean, Voldy isn't even human anymore, he's on the brink of unlocking the secret of eternal life. If he finds out how to become immortal, he doesn't want his son- able to be a powerful Dark wizard- to be able to threaten his control. If he's immortal, he needn't bother having anyone to succeed him.

Yes but he's not immortal yet is he? Wouldn't it better to raise just in case he couldn't find out the secret to immortal life? I mean better safe than sorry. Then once he did find out the secret he could just kill Harry off.

No. i don't think so. Maybe Voldomort just didn't like him. Or wanted to make it a clean kill.

oh pick pick pick. I geuss we'll find out when the 5th book comes out.

Heyhey! They are related. Very distantly though it may be!
Eh, I may be wrong, and it all depends on how the name relationship was passed down, but Voldemort would be something like Harry's third cousin four times removed. It all goes back to the three brothers...the however-many-times-greatgrandfather of the both of them were brothers.

Harry could easily be related to Voldemort. I personally think Voldemort could be Harry's grandfather. James Potter's dad. Voldemort should be about 57 years old in book 5. So the age works. This could also explain why Voldemort wanted to kill Harry in the first place. He could have been afraid that Harry would inherit his powers, and eventually overthrow him, or something like that.
The only problem with my theory is that Harry should have the same last name as Voldemort, which would be Riddle. So maybe James Potter was adopted, and his last name was changed? Or maybe Voldemort is related to Harry in a different way. Maybe he's his uncle, or something like that?
Or maybe, Voldemort is Lily Potter's father. They makes sense too, becuase all the rumors say we will find out something big about Lily in future books. Also, rumors say that Harry's and Lily's green eyes are important. Slytherin's house color is green. Voldemort is an heir to Slytherin...? The only problem with Voldemort being Lily's father is Petunia. Wouldn't she know if her father was a dark lord?
Anyway I just thought this was an interesting idea... any thoughts?
I know I have way too much time on my hands...

Lilly is Muggle born so she can't have wizarding ansestors

Harry must be related to Voldermort. In book 6 we learn that Malvo's ring has been passed down through his ansetors. Without revealing anything about book 7, Harry has an object which desended from the same people.
