The whole thing with Rolo... I'd love it if he turns out to be Nunally's twin, which will then make him Lulu's real brother. I wouldn't be surprised if the Emperor plans to use this fact against Lulu in the future, probably to create another tragedy amongst the existing ones. He could have been taken away from the family from birth, used as a guinea pig, brainwashed and programmed and then given the power of Geass to benefit Charles and V.V. It's not been made clear what Charles had done to fulfill his contract.
Considering the sibling relationship does exist, it could have been V.V who convinced Charles to use Rolo and not the other way around.
Putting the sibling possibilities aside, maybe Rolo is one of the children used for Geass experimentation, who actually made it out alive. Or for something even more twisted, Rolo could be the child of the victim (or victims) of some Geass experiments. What if they were studying how much better a child would be at controlling his Geass if his parental units were Geass contractors as well?
Twisted, I know ~_~ Oh the poor boy...
As for V.V and Charles...
From the way things look, I'd call V.V the Shadow Emperor. Charles definitely softens up when he's around V.V, and it irked me a bit that the guy can actually look at someone with semi-kind expression. It's unnerving as well that we seem to get more of V.V than Charles, which somewhat indicated that V.V makes most of the decisions instead of Charles.
I once had the illusion that Charles' Geass got the better of him around the time before Marianne was killed. There's not much mention of Charles of the past. For all we know, he MIGHT have been a good father. He was at least looking over Nunally and Lelouch in the recent Anya/CC synchro. It would have been better if we could see this expression then.
Something has got to be fishy from the very beginning if Charles contract term clashes horribly with Lulu's.
EDIT: Remember the character sketches? Alongside young Charles' sketch, it says "What happened 21 years ago?". Enough to make me curious :P
