What do you call the husband of your mother's sister?
In my country, we call Uncle. Even by marriage it's called uncle. But here we've a different relationship with the whole idea of family. We don't use the concepts of family and relatives. There's the idea of nuclear family (parents and children) but no name or concept for what in English is called relatives. And even the general concept of nuclear family is used only for census, health care, studies, researches purposes…
Why do I look more like my first cousin than my own brother or sister?
My elder son looks nothing like me. He looks nothing like his father. As he grew older, I noticed he didn't look like any of his grandparents, aunts, uncles or cousins. I couldn't figure out where his distinctive nose and mouth came from. Then, one day at my mother-in-law's house, I noticed a photo hanging on the wall. It was of my M-i-L's father, who died when she was a girl. And there was my son's face: his great-grandfather whom none of us had ever met. Those genes skipped a couple generations and showed up intact in my boy's facial features.You and your cousin share a common set of genes. While it's true you have more genetic material in common with your brother, that which you share with your cousin (height, hair and eye color) can be just as likely to be expressed, and apparently it was. It would only be bizarre if you weren't blood relatives. And to be honest, that height difference isn't very significant. I'm three or so inches taller than my two sisters. I also don't share the same hair and eye colors with all of them, and my two sons have very different eye colors. All of those differences have a large number of variables (blonde, red, brown, black hair or blue, green, gray, or brown eyes) and so one would expect a larger variety of outcomes among offspring of even the same parents. They aren't either/or binary options, like attached or unattached earlobes. Nothing you described sound terribly out of the ordinary.
Shouldn't Harry Potter's aunt be a witch like his mother because they are sisters?
Not necessarily Rowling has revealed that all Muggleborn witches and wizards have somewhere in their family history a squib a none magic child born to wizarding family the way the genetic lottery works it is actually less likely sibling born to muggle parents would be both magic unless they are identical twins. The Creevy’s were really rare that both brothers were magic.The other option is one of them is adopted Lily has red hair, green eyes and a few freckles across her cheeks. Patunia is blonde blue eyed with pale clear skin. It is completely possible they are biologically sisters but Lily could be adopted or Patunia for that matter.We know very little about the parents not even their names or ages so maybe they thought they couldn’t have children of their own so they adopted Patunia only a couple years later to miraculously get pregnant with Lily. It might even explain Patunia’s jealousy of Lily. It might have been something Lily and James had in common both of their parents being older and thought they couldn’t have children then James and Lily were their miracle babies.He he he I Just made up a head canon and didn’t even mean to.Rowling however did reveal that Dudley’s son ended up being a wizard so it was probably just something that skipped showing up in Patunia and got passed down to her grandson for the distant relative Patunia and Lily shared
What percentage of DNA does a person share with their first cousin once removed? What would the percentage be if the person's parents were first cousins?
There is no real answer to that. It just depends on who got what DNA. I have 1st cousins who are full sister's 1 shows as a 1st cousin the other as a 2nd. With a 200 match difference. I have 2nd cousins who are brothers and the range any where from 2 nd to 4 th cousins. Even my sister and I have big differences in our DNA. There are so many parts to DNA you can share a little or a lot.
If a person is your aunt/uncle through marriage, do they stop being your aunt/uncle after a divorce?
Let’s look at this from a different angle. I have (had) and Aunt whom I loved dearly until I was 13. She was married to my mom’s brother (so my blood Uncle). She died tragically at the age of 28, leaving my infant and toddler cousins behind and leaving my Uncle a widower. I was, and still am heartbroken over this. I still refer to her as my “Aunt ____”. Even though my Uncle has remarried. I don’t call his current wife “Aunt”, she is not the Mom to my cousins, that person is gone and will never be replaced.My point is that it depends on how you feel about the person. Is that person truly an Aunt or Uncle to you and how do you feel about them? It’s a respect thing. Some of my Aunts and Uncles (by marriage) I still call them Aunt or Uncle just cause I was taught to as a child. But they have no real influence on me.Also, when I divorced my ex-husband 8 years ago, my nieces and nephews (from his side, though not blood related to me) whom I knew, most of them since birth many still call me “Aunt”. It’s sweet to me because I helped raise them and love them all dearly, and it was not my fault we got divorced. Some stopped calling me that because my ex got remarried.
Have you ever been caught doing something bad? (By your Parents, Teachers, ect..)?
I was 13. Snuck 2 guys in. My bf (at the time) n his bro. Anyways the next morning right before they were gonna leave my parents knock on my door asking for the phone. They rush under the bed, I open the door n hand the phone to my parents, they walk in cause my mom also had gotten me a present (I was student of the month) an she hands it over n I open it all happy cause it was a new cell phone. They're there about 5 minutes then START walking out n my bf's idiot brother says aloud "are they gone yet?" My parents flip out n throw the mattress off the bed see both of them. My mom slaps me. My dads yelling at them in Spanish n they call the cops to take em home. I was grounded for 3 months. That was the first and only time someone has been caught sneaking in because of the idiot. Still sneak my (current) bf in til this day. But I will be moving out in 3 months and won't need to anymore >.< lol
