(Re: your first hypothetical, have you read Kate Elliot's Spiritwalker trilogy? If not, it's not a major deal, but there's a worldbuilding detail concerning minor characters that makes that scenario all the more hilarious.)
Oh thank goodness that confuses other people, too, I thought it was just me or that I was very confused. But yes, that's just a plot point that just...sits on the mantelpiece, basically. I think my fingers-in-ears compromise is that alt!Millies exist, and alt!Roger and alt!Julia are the children of her and whoever she marries on alt!Series Ten, and Chrestomanci's luck being what is is, of course Christopher somehow ends up having to interact with them and being very weirded out by his not!children, and this is threatening to become a plot bunny I will desperately have to ignore, thanks a lot! :D
