[HPforGrownups] Harry's Relatives on fathers side

In SS, first chapter, Dumbledore was talking with McGonagall:
"...He'll be famous - a legend - I wouldn't be surprised if today was known 
as Harry Potter day in the future - -there will be books written about Harry 
- every child in our world will know his name!" (said by McGonagall)
"Exactly," said Dumbledore,"It would be enough to turn any boys head. Famous 
before he can walk and talk! Famous for something he won't even remember! 
Can't you see how much better off he'll be, growing up away from all that 
until he's ready to take it?"

So, perhaps this is the reason that Dumbledore did not send Harry to 
relations on his father side, because wasn't his father born a wizard?
As to sending Harry to the Dursleys, well.... maybe everyone else (Lily's 
mother, father, even other siblings perhaps) passed away.
