First off: this idea is up for grabs, this is just a completely random brainstorm.
Any person can gain magic by any of three ways.
Descendant of a previous Magical or God.
Favored by a God.
Avatar of a God.
You can be favored by a God by possessing an attribute the god has and gain magic that way, which results most of the time in Muggle Borns or more powerful members of pureblood lines.
You can be descended by someone who already magic or a god themselves, which comes from bloodlines and pureblood families.
You can be an avatar of a specific god and each God can only have one avatar at each time. Being an avatar makes your magic much stronger and gives you a very strong bond to what that god represents.
So the Malfoys as a whole could be descended from the God of Greed. The founders themselves might of been 1/2 gods, Courage, Wisdom, Compassion, Cunning.
Avatars might be, Tom Riddle: Hate. Dumbledore: Mercy. Molly Weasley: Concern.
Favored would be, Weasley Twins, Sirius, James, Remus: Mischief.
Hermione: Knowledge Ron: Envy
The Black family might be descended from Arrogance.
In a Twist this would REALLY create Dark and Light families based on weather a certain attribute was seen as good or bad at a certain time. Arrogance could be shifted to Pride, Hate to shrewdness, Concern to obsessed. Courage to rashness.
More powerful Magical world in general compared to the books, Black and Whiteness increased. Overall just... Different.
Now where does this go?*shrug*
