Although, technically, if you go far enough back, I guess you could argue that the Potter family occasionally married a Muggle or two – and anyone who knows anything about the world of Harry Potter, knows that the Malfoys strongly opposed mixing their blood line with poorer wizarding families, never mind MUGGLES. However, you simply cannot argue with the fact that both the Potters and the Malfoys were strong, powerful wizarding families, in their own right. After all, James Potter was the descendent of IGNOTUS PEVERELL – the first known owner of the fabled Invisibility Cloak from the tale of the Deathly Hallows.

Right, so both James Potter and Draco Malfoy were from "serious" wizarding families. One arguably "weak" similarity. You may be thinking, "if that's all you've got, this is a joke!" But, oh, there is so much more...
