But is his family dead? Just because his paternal family (who appear 
in the Mirror) are not around doesn't mean he doesn't have some 
distant cousin out there. AND more to the point, what about his 
maternal family? Where are they? Can it be that James was the only 
child of only children and Lily one of two silblings of two only 
children? I think we may see them come back in some shape or form - 
after all Aunt Pet is pretty estranged from her family (seeing them 
as favouring Lily) so maybe they are around somewhere
