Ok that makes sense and I know that in a way they are related however it is not completely right.
Look everyone in the world it is said that everyone in the world is related. Every person has about 100000 descendents or so and you could be related to someone from a completely different country, religion, caste etcc…
Yes, it is agreeable that everyone in the world is related. We don't exactly have a number of relatives that share the same blood when it comes to …blood because everyone, in those terms are related. The concept of DNA, however, kindof comes very close to ones siblings, parents, 1st cousins then second and so on and so forth. The more closely one is related by blood the more similar their DNA.

My point is that people are realted but you dont call them your relatives because you dont exactly know them. On that basis Harry and Voldermort are related through name but not exacty related.
I think what sumera was pointing out was that Voldemort and Harry have been descended from the same family not really the familial relation that they have with eachother. Voldemort doesn't exactly have familial relations unless you count the whack job that is Bellatrix (Black) Lestrange (gotta love her for it though). It just so happens that both Harry and Voldemort are direct descendents (at least that's what the Ring and Invisibility cloak leads us to believe) of the Peverell brothers.

You could say your best friend is your sister but not really like that. Its through words and a long history of descendents not exactly blood. They are not related. If they were why on earth would Voldermort hurt or want to hurt his own blood his own relative.
He has hurt, killed actually, someone that was his own flesh and blood. His father.

Was he or was he not aware of this history. It didnt say anywhere that he didnt know, sooo…
Whether he was aware of his genealogy or not hardly makes a difference. He would do anything including but not limited to sacrificing everyone to achieve his ends. "He has as much sympathy for his friends and family as he does to his enemies."
(I don't know who said that quote but it's true for our dear Voldie here)

What you are saying is true but think about. Honeslty people cant be related through just names and blood its the relationship they have. Harry wants nothing to do with Voldermort her is not his relative. END OF STORY
I think what you're getting at here is the meaning of family. Family doesn't necessarily need to be related but as I pointed out before this is really Voldemort/Tom being descended from the same family as Harry. Even if it's not by blood (the similar DNA type), at one point whomever was their ancestor made them interrelated in the tapestry of their family tree.
