The Kenobi being Rey's grandfather thing makes no sense, and the main justification for it(her accent) is especially flawed.
It's not like accents are genetically transferred, and she was raised by strangers from a very young age. More importantly, accents in the Star Wars movie have historically been all over the place without any consistency or logic, due to it's nature as a heavily anglo-american production.
I think if she is related to any pre-existing major character, it's Luke, as that's where all the signs are pointing, it's almost to the point where it'd be some devious misdirection if it weren't the case. There is still room to say she was being trained by Luke and that's where the connection comes from and her parents are some random people, but I don't see how or why she would be related to Kenobi, and she is clearly not Kylo's twin sister, there is no way future movies can retcon and try to explain away her interactions with Han and Leia in this movie if she were their long lost daughter. That and she is seems much younger than Kylo. Wookiepedia says she is 10 years younger, which I don't know if that is official or where it comes from, but just from the casting, it would seem super odd if those two were twins.
The one thing that makes me think her parents aren't randoms or minor side characters is that they cast someone who fits the look of all the Skywalker women so exactly. It's entirely possible that she was just so great in auditions that her looks were coincidental(and she was great in the role, looks aside), but really the resemblance plus all the hints that are dropped would add up to a bit of a large red herring if she were some random person.
Plus I don't think they are going to have that dickbag kylo be the last of the skywalker line, surely?
