| Mar 27, 2016 at 12:27 | comment | added | The Giant of Lannister | @pleurocoelus I never said it would be a problem. You were the one who postulated a "disturbing" connection. Any degree of interrelatedness would be minor. In the same way that everyone is related to Charlemagne... theguardian.com/science/commentisfree/2015/may/24/… | |

Even if she were descended from a Potter squib, there should be enough intervening generations of Muggle genes that it wouldn't be a problem. | |

| Jan 18, 2012 at 18:52 | comment | added | Jeff | @DVK: No, but they were being forced into more and more interbreeding - distinct familial features (such as looking like a younger version of each other) are one of the first signs of too much interbreeding. | |
