Who Is Quasimodo's Father?

Quasimodo, the half-formed, is a main character in the book (and Disney cartoon, and Michaelian School Play) by the name of The Hunchback of Notre Dame. While Clopin did his best to try to explain how Quasimodo ended up in the bell tower of Notre Dame, there are still many questions asked that Clopin did not answer... questions to Quasimodo's origins... and his relations to the other characters in the Hunchback of Notre Dame....

Question No. 1
Who was Quasimodo's birth father?

According to speculation, Quasimodo's real father could very vell be Judge Claude Frollo... Impossible? Think again. Why did Frollo lay a trap for the gypsies? Maybe he was trying to hide the fact that he has a son... Why did he pursue the gypsy woman, Quasimodo's mother himself, when he could just command a soldier to chase her?
Maybe he wants to make sure the secret is safe... He is a judge, so such a sin would have had great negative impact on his career... Then, after snatching Quasimodo from the Gypsy woman, he is surprised that his son is a deformed "monster". So he tries to destroy all evidence... only to be stopped by the Archdeacon... And since Quasimodo is his son, he agrees to bring him up.

Makes sense? lol....
