 I don't understand the whole Scooby-Doo/Scrappy-Doo relationship.  Scrappy calls Scooby "Uncle Scooby", but is he really related?  To answer that, we'll have to look at Scooby's other relatives, Scooby-Dee and Scooby-Dum.  As we can see, "Scooby" is just a family name akin to a Japanese family name.  The "Doo" in Scooby-Doo is his given name.  Saying that Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo are related just because they end in "Doo" is like saying Bill Clinton and Bill Gates are related because they share the name "Bill".
 
 If in fact Scooby-Doo is Scrappy's uncle, then he must be Scooby-Dee's son.  I really don't think that Dee would throw her only son off a moving train at Scooby-Doo.  Let me clarify that.  I can see Scooby-Dee throwing Scrappy-Doo off a moving train, but I can't see her burdening Scooby-Doo with Scrappy-Doo.  No, if she were to dump the lil' brat off on someone, it would be Scooby-Dum.  Or Don Knotts in that ghost town.
 
 Obviously, The usage of the word "uncle" when Scrappy-Doo would describe Scooby-Doo is Scrappy's visualization of Scooby as a role-model, a father figure.  Scrappy saw Scooby as someone who would love and care for him and never throw him off a moving train.
