But if my theory is correct then the Weasley's are incrediably 
distant relatives, I mean the accountant was Molly's second cousin so 
his children will be her second cousins once removed. That means that 
Harry would be her third cousin therefore Petunia is his closest 
relative. Plus Ron said that they don't talk about the accountant, so 
they might not know that they are related to Harry. And if they don't 
know whose to say that anyone else does?

Sofie, Gryffindor and very reluctant to give up on her theory!

P.S(What happened to the rest of the Potter family? And why does 
everyone say that Evans is Lily's last name?)
