Not having the same father would tend to imply not being genetically the same, yes.

This isn't the Harry Potter we know.

He does have the same genetic parents; it's his biological aunt, not his biological mother, who married someone different in this timeline.

I recently received your letter of acceptance to Hogwarts, addressed to Mr. H. Potter. You may not be aware that my genetic parents, James Potter and Lily Potter (formerly Lily Evans) are dead. I was adopted by Lily's sister, Petunia Evans-Verres, and her husband, Michael Verres-Evans.

I feel rather foolish now. Of course he does.

Should still be a genetic reshuffling, at least. The point of departure seems to be before his birth, so the butterfly effect would be in effect.
