Interesting theories,but me personaly,whether I married her or not,I'll be damned if I left her at the house all day waiting for me to come back (That's below her.) I'd be carrying her on my little misadventures with me so she wouldn't be missing out on all the fun. I mean,come on,depending on if you had her as a follower during that one or not,she's already survived your wild night that Sanguine drags you on and is still with you and depending on the point in the dawnguard questline you're at,seems to grow closer to you. (That's saying something after she basically attends your marriage to a Hagraven.) Now,I will say,my character is a werewolf and after I found her,for the first half of "Bloodline" (When I drug her on many adventures before taking her home.) she did keep her distance from me,save for one point after completing Hircine's Daedric quest,killing the hunters. (Werewolf form.) After it was done,she got a little closer while I waited for it to wear off and somewhat kept her distance again. As for what she had to go through to gain her power,I know many people have mentioned having sex with her,but that isn't the most important thing in a relationship and it's not like the Dragonborn would be forcing his/herself on her either way (Unless that's your character's nature.) and should Molag Bal make an attempt to try and take her,well,he could easily end up like Alduin,Harkon and Miraak or just be beaten to the point where he runs back to his realm,then you've made another enemy.(Nothing new there.) As for your second theory,that makes a whole lot of sense,I've actually thought about that one,but like you said,she's ancient and if they're dead,there's no telling who this person was,how they died (Could have easily been Harkon's doing.) and there's definitely no telling what connection they may or may not have to the Dragonborn. (It can hardly be,but it still might be a coincidence that it was the Dragonborn that was the dawnguard agent who found her and who's blood awakend her,then she develops a strong bond with him/her.) And yes,she is very independent and there's nothing wrong with that,but dragons,even the dragonborn are just as independent,if not more independent and are always subject to unrivaled pride (We saw that with Miraak.),so she'd still most likely have her independence either way,so there's that. And of course,your last theory. The main problem in her family's disfunction has already been dealt with because Valerica seems to know not to mess with you as long as you don't do anything to hurt Serana,but other than that,I can see how it'd make her uncomfortable making your character a part of her family since the Dragonborn most likely has the potential for a lust for power that Miraak had (A trait in the dragon blood that shows more than most anything else.) and the possibility of the Dragonborn and Valerica getting in a power struggle (Like her and Harkon did sometime after Serana was born.) however,the Dragonborn is pretty much already at their full power after you kill Miraak and pretty much as long as the Dragonborn doesn't harm her,Valerica seems satisfied that she's with him/her. And who's to say that it wouldn't actually end up being the first time she actually has a relationship with someone she's met in her life that even time itself can't destroy and who's to say that her feelings wouldn't eat away at her overtime? (That's how friendzone seems to work on occasions,but we all get what you mean,just brainstorming pretty much.)
