        1.  Marty is not going to be born until  1967  or  so.  So  is
        George going to suspect his wife of cheating with someone they
        haven't seen in 12 years?

        2.  By the time Marty gets old enough  to  resemble  Marty  in
        1955  somewhat  we're  up  to  1980.  Would  you remember what
        someone you saw a few times over a period of a week  25  years
        ago  looks  like?  Now  if  they had took some photos of Marty
        from 1955 that might be different.

        3.  Assuming that Marty is actually their son there should  be
        some  family  resemblence, so George shouldn't have any reason
        to get suspicious in the first place.  From  the  comments  in
        the  movie I would suspect that Marty takes after his mother's
        side more.  Think of  the  plot  complications  if  Marty  had
        looked  just  like  his  father!  Of course he could have been
        adopted like Doc Brown suggested.
