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

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.]

Personally, I think that Aberforth is just Dumbledore in Timeturner mode. After all, you ever seen the two of them together? And they look very alike, and Dumbeldore always knows what the other's up to, even though he's so conveniantly placed as far away so we don't want to see him more often than we do? So, naturally, he went to die prepared with an Aberforth to come out of a broom cupboard...

This theory just popped into my head reading what you wrote... I do believe I am now officially insane.
