[[WMG: Rather than ''being'' (or representing) various cultural monsters, the Addams are "merely" related to them.]]
Ie, it's frequently speculated that Morticia ''is'' a vampire, but clearly she displays few actual, specific vampiric traits (well, the recent animated movie plays them up a bit). So, perhaps, instead, she's a mortal(ish) woman who is related to vampires, or a dhamphir (the living child of a vampire), I suppose. A WMG above suggests that Fester is a werewolf, but perhaps he's simply the child of a werewolf (making his complete hairlessness somewhat ironic). This also dovetails with the above WMG that Gomez is part-ifrit (or that he's Nyarlathotep. The child of an elder god and a human would be understandably weird indeed). This would mean, I suppose, that Pugsley and Wednesday are half human, part vampire and part (whatever we decide Gomez is). It does make for some vaguely complicated family stuff with Fester and Gomez/Morticia (whichever one he's the brother of in a given iteration), but that just means they're half-siblings who share a human parent. Potentially, this means that being an Addams is just... being the child of a human and a "monster." Alternatively, the Addams lineage is just a complete stew pot of monsters and the result is "nigh-invulnerable and 'kooky' but otherwise human."

[[WMG: To add to the above Harry Potter theory, the musical version of the Addams are descendants of Helga Hufflepuff]]
To start off, the Sacred Chalice tends to look similar to Helga Hufflepuff's cup. Perhaps after it was destroyed, her ancestors found it, and fixed it up, but couldn't get it to look exactly the same. In the book version of Half-Blood Prince, Hepzibhah mentions that the cup has been past down for generations, perhaps one of the Addams found it after the second Wizarding War. Secondly, we don't know this version of the Addams' full family tree (They don't even know if Grandmama is related). We know a few here or there (Aunt Herman, cousin Helga,the Spanish one with the really long name that I forgot, etc.), but perhaps the Spanish one from the past could have married into the Hufflepuff line. Finally, the Addams are supposedly "... a single surviving branch of the Addams clan." This would make a lot of sense if they were part of an old Wizarding Family.
