The Torah says a few times(this repetition itself requires explanation) that Osnas was the daughter of Potifar-Potifera.So even according to the Medrash that she was the daughter of Shechem and Dina,perhaps for the very same reason she is called the daughter of Potifar, she is also not considered one of the special ‘seventy souls’.V’dok-this is a deep concept.(By the way, if the Shvotim regarding many halachos had a din of b’nei noach,then Osnas’ yichus goes after her father as is the din by b’nei noach. If so she is part of the nation of Shechem,not Yakov).
