While the tidbit about how all of the characters have a relationship to Magwitch is interesting the only real reason I can see for it existing is so that the reader can see that the illusion of class seperation that permeated these times were just that, an illusion. It showed that the child of a poor convict can be transformed into a cold, manipulative noblewoman simply by the whims of fate. It shows that contrary to what the nobility had been imposing upon the commoners for centuries, there was no fundamental difference between the two of them and given the right resources, anyone can become nobility. It also lets Magwitch die happy, knowing that his only child lived a happy life.
