Count Olaf is either their 3rd cousin 4 times removed or 4th cousin 3 times removed.
Well he is constantly trying to kill the Baudelaires, and he tried to marry Violet in the first book to retrieve the fortune.
Because he a greedy and careless man
Olaf sets the Baudelaire mansion alight, and Mr and Mrs Baudelaire are killed in the blaze.
We do not know. In 'The End' Sunny Baudelaire accuses Count Olaf of this crime and he replies "Is that what you think?" and Sunny replies "We know so" he then replies to that with "You know nothing"
They all have some kind of fortune. Part of their family died in a fire. Count Olaf tried to steal their fortunes.
Book 8 is called 'The Hostile Hospital'. Violet, Klaus and Sunny end up staying in a hospital. They find a file which shows a picture of their parents, Jacques Snicket and an unknown man, and a caption saying that there could be a survivor of a fire, which leads the orphans into thinking that one of their parents could be alive. Violet is then captured by Esme Squalor, given anaesthetic, and an anagram of her name is hidden in a patient list. Klaus and Sunny disguise themselves as doctors and decode the patient list to find Violet. Count Olaf is planning to operate on Violet by giving her a cranioectomy (cutting her head off). When Klaus and Sunny follow Esme Squalor to the operating theatre they have to perform the operation themselves. Klaus tries to stall the operation to give time for the anaesthetic to wear off, but he has to make a quick escape with Violet and Sunny. Count Olaf sets the hospital on fire, and Violet, Klaus and Sunny are trapped in a store cupboard. Violet wakes up in time to invent something to get the three siblings out of the burning building, and because they are believed to be murderers, the book ends with them climbing into the trunk of Olaf's car as he drives away, to escape from being captured by the authorities.

In the 7th book the Baudelaires see a flyer that says villages are raising children. One of them is V.F.D which is mistaken for Count Olaf's secrets. So they are raised by the people of V.F.D who tells them to clean the whole city.
SPOILER WARNING: No, Count Olaf never got a chance to get the Baudelaire fortune (nor the Baudelaires for that matter, at least because of what The End implies.) The reason why is because when Count Olaf threaten the islanders and the Baudelaires with a deadly fungus called the Medusoid Mycelium, the tables turn on him, and the islanders' facilitator shoots him with the harpoon gun, breaking the glass of the helmet he kept the deadly fungus in, causing everyone to breathe in the same spores (by gasping in shock.) Everyone gets infected, including the Baudelaires- due to the book's ending chapter, fans can safely assume that the islanders were cured thanks to the Incredibly Deadly Vipers' offering of the horseradish/apples hybrids.The Baudelaires help their fellow volunteer, Kit Snicket, give birth to her daughter, which is just when Count Olaf dies.
Yes, they are brothers and sisters. their parents died in a terrible fire, and ever since Count olaf has been trying to capture their fortune the parents left them!
Count Olaf burned our house down.
Count Olaf is always trying to get to the Baudelaire's fortune. He dresses up in diguises and tries to be their friend, but they know who he is and what he's trying to do. In every book, they get sent to live with a friendly person that doesn't believe that he is Olaf. Some of them are his henchmen. In the end, the Baudelaires always out- smart him. I definitely recommend reading this series.
