After playing and beating both games and reading the comic i have figured it out:
Spoiler 1(which some people have already posted)
Spoiler:GLaDOS is Caroline
Spoiler 2(which no one has posted)
Spoiler:Caroline is Chell's Mother
Spoiler 3(from what I can tell which no one has figured out yet)
Spoiler:Chell is Cave's and Caroline's Daughter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(possibly Adopted)
Let me know what you think...
Proof Spoilers
1.
Spoiler:Picture one: Cave and his Wife Caroline(aka GLaDOS - who also adds that the people in the pic look familiar) http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/7...06397059892697
Update: Proof in the olden days oil self portraits didn't include anyone else unless it was a wife or family member(wiki link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-po...Classification )
Update2: after people started enhancing the portrait I too did the same:
http://oi53.tinypic.com/16hjkvk.jpg
It appears to be a female the size of a child on the left side of it and the reason the picture would of been done like this is that Cave didn't want a child and so he would of neglected her thus putting her in the picture would of probably been Caroline's idea and may have been added after the main picture was painted thus creating the see threw-ish effect.

Spoiler:Picture two: pic 1 Cell's science project from Bring your child to work day science fair http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/7...06397059935653
Picture three: pic 2 Cell's science project from Bring your child to work day science fair. http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/7...06397059951993
Update2: I'm still surprised no one has gotten this so I guess I'll say it. Chell's project is of a growth acceleration with the use of some "Stuff"(possibly some chemical they used to mature clones or moon dust or both) that she got from her Father(cave) from his work for the project; So This could also explain Chell's age when she woke from cryo in the first portal and why the chamber looks like it was an egg(because the cryo chamber was an growth accelerator incubator).
Update3: here http://www.thinkwithportals.com/comic/#2 in the comic you see a teddy Bear besides Chell's 1st cryo chamber/incubator!

Spoiler:
Update1: the translated Opera turret song(fixed up with google translater)
Cara, bel, cara mia, (Dear, beautiful, my dear,)
bella bambina, (beautiful child(girl),)
oh Chell, (oh Chell, -orignal)(fixed - Chell oh,)
que lastima, (that's too bad,)
que lastima, (that's too bad,)
deh! Cara mia, (well, My dear,)
addio. (farewell. -original)(fixed - Goodbye)
Mia bambina, (My girl, -original)(fixed - My Baby)
cara, (dear,)
perchè non passi (why don't you stay(run))
lontana, deh (away -original)(fixed - far, ah)
sì lontana (yes, away)(fixed - so far) - thanks to ParrotParrot.
da scienza? (from science?)
Cara, cara (Dear, dear,-original)(fixed - Baby, baby)
mia bambina, (my child(girl),)
ah mia bel, (my beautiful,-original)(fixed - ah my beautiful,)
ah mia cara, (my dear,-original)(fixed - ah my dear,)
la mia cara, (my dear,)
la mia bamina, (my child(girl),)
oh cara, (my dear,)
cara mia… (my dear…)
Full song in place:
"Dear, beautiful, my dear, beautiful child(girl), Chell oh, that's too bad, that's too bad, well, My dear, Good bye"
"My Baby dear, why don't you stay(run) far, so far, away from science?"
"Baby, baby my child(girl), ah my beautiful, ah my dear, my dear, my child(girl), my dear, my dear..."

Spoiler: Chell's age, cloning and lastname read here http://www.thinkwithportals.com/comic/#22
Final Proof:
Spoiler:Look at the similarities http://i52.tinypic.com/inabfc.jpg Update: Also Chell's eyes are white/silver like the color of the moon and that could be dew to her father cave testing moon dust on himself; Proof and I quote from the game "Cave Johnson: The bean counters told me we literally could not afford to buy seven dollars worth of moon rocks, much less seventy million. Bought 'em anyway. Ground 'em up, mixed em into a gel." - "Cave Johnson: And guess what? Ground up moon rocks are pure poison. I am deathly ill." - "Cave Johnson: That said, I would really appreciate it if you could test as fast as possible. Caroline, please bring me more pain pills."
Enjoy!
