Dumbledore's Family, Who are they, what is their significance Options

[timeturner]

Here is another interesting quote from the Mugglenet/TLC interview of JK. I haven't seen or heard much talk about this (Dumbledore's family). Theories anyone?

ES: Dumbledore is unrivaled in his knowledge of magic –

JKR: Mmhm.

ES: Where did he learn it all?

JKR: I see him primarily as someone who would be self-taught. However, he in his time had access to superb teachers at Hogwarts, so he was educated in the same way that everyone else is educated. Dumbledore's family would be a profitable line of inquiry, more profitable than sweet wrappers.

MA: His family?

JKR: Family, yes.

MA: Should we talk about that a little more?

JKR: No. But you can! [Laughter.]

Dumbledore's never been a kid in any of the things we've seen so far, so I haven't put enough thought into his family.

I did wonder how he could be so educated and capable while Aberforth is illiterate and scuzzy. There must be some reason they are so divergent.
