If that were the case, wouldn't Arthur have acted somewhat more familiar
with Petunia, at least, if she and her sister (and her parents) were
related to him?

I say Arthur, bc I am assuming it is from him all the kids have the red
hair. But I suppose the cousin could be Molly's....

Ron might not know too much about this "distant cousin", but I'd be a bit
suprised if Arthur knew nothing about him/her.
