Are Harry Potter and Lord Voldemort related?

Answer 1

Yes he is... They are relatives... They are both decendents of two of the three Peverell brothers.

Harry is the decendent of Ignnotus Peverell and Voldermort is the decendent of Cadmus Peverell... I think that would make them cousins, distant cousins

Answer 2

Yes, they are very distantly related through the Peverell Bloodline, this is revealed in Deathly Hallows.

Marvolo boasts about being descended from the Peverells, which is why he has the ring (which turns out to be the ressurection stone). Harry then discovers that the reason he has the invisibility cloak is because he is descended from the brother who owned the cloak, Ignotus Peverell, which means Harry and Voldemort are distantly related.

However, most people don't generally consider people to be related after so many generations have passed.

Answer 3

When Lily sacrificed herself to save Harry it placed a shield between Harry and Voldemort. The killing curse rebounded on to him and the a piece of Voldemort's soul latched on to Harry, being the only living thing in the house. This gives Harry's connection into Voldemort's mind and the power of being a Parselmouth.

Answer 4

The two are very distantly related, although whether it's just by marriage or actually by blood is unknown.

The Tale of Three Brothers describes the three Peverell brothers who each came into possession of the Deathly Hallows. The eldest brother, Antioch, received the Elder Wand, which could be taken from the owner forcible. The middle brother, Cadmus, asked for the Resurrection Stone. The final brother, Ignotus, was given the Cloak of Invisibility. These last two are passed down throughout the generations, usually from father to son.

Cadmus passed down his Resurrection Stone until it came to his distant descendent Marvolo Gaunt. Marvolo Gaunt passed it to his son Morfin, and then to his grandson Tom Riddle (Morfin was his uncle). Tom Riddle would go on to become Lord Voldemort.

Ignotus passed down his Cloak as well, until it eventually ended up in the possession of his descendent James Potter. After James' death, Dumbledore took care of the Cloak despite not being part of the bloodline, and gave it to Harry on his first Christmas at Hogwarts.

This shows that Voldemort (Tom Riddle) is a descendent of Cadmus Peverell and Harry is a descendent of Ignotus Peverell, and they are therefore very distantly related. However, they may just be related by marriage somewhere down the line.

Answer 5

They're actually distant relatives because Voldermort and Harry both have items and blood relationships with the Peverell brothers of the Deathly Hallows.

(*Nerd when it comes to HP)

Harry is the decedent of Ignnotus Peverell and Voldermort is the decedent of Cadmus Peverell...thus making them distant cousins (I think..)

Answer 6

1. Twin Cores

The core of Harry's wand is Holly and Phoenix Feather. Voldemort's wand also has Phoenix Feather in its core. Phoenix always drop just one feather - but, strangely, this phoenix dropped 2 feathers, one of which ended up in Harry's wand, and the other in Voldemort's wand

2. Mother's Protection

On the night she died, Lily Potter performed old magic - giving Harry the protection of Mother's Love. Since then, Voldemort could not touch Harry because of this protection. But when he returned in the fourth book, he used Harry's blood - which carried the protection. Voldemort's veins run with Harry's blood - and his mothers love. So now, Voldemort too has that protection, and he can touch Harry. They share blood.

3. Horcrux

On the night he killed the Potters and tried to kill Harry, Voldemort accidentally created a seventh Horcrux. This Horcrux latched itself on to the only living thing it could find - Harry. Now Harry has part of Voldemort's soul inside him. This is why he can see into Voldemort's mind, and vice versa - why he can speak Parseltongue, why he was so similar to Voldemort in many ways - because a bit of Voldemort lived inside him.

Answer 7

Voldermort killed Harry's Parents when he was little but Harry survived and that's why he has a lightning bolt shaped scar on his head, so because Harry Survived, Voldermort is trying to kill harry and apparently Harry has a bit of Voldermort inside of him from the scar that he got.

Hope this Helped :)
