You really see when you look at the whole series how important it is to have a family, I think. It seems to be the basis of everything. A Muggleborn with no connections is really floating around, vulnerable, I think. Hermione really lucked out attaching herself to the Weasleys and Harry--and of course so did Harry luck out in getting the Weasleys. Though even he benefits from his own family connections.
It's kind of funny that Harry never looks into those connections, actually. I know he can't have any living relatives or else he wouldn't be stuck with the Dursleys, but the Potters ought to be related in some way to other Purebloods. It's just as a Muggleborn Harry doesn't really see those connections as clearly as the Purebloods do. At least Purebloods like the Blacks who are hyper-aware of this sort of thing.
