Family & Money

I was reading through some old interviews and such with JKR and came across 
this little tidbit...

What did James and Lily Potter do when they were alive? 
"Well, I can't go into too much detail, because you're going to find out in 
future books. But James inherited plenty of money, so he didn't need a 
well-paid profession. You'll find out more about both Harry's parents later. "

This led me to two questions and I hate to be redundent if this has already 
been discussed: Any speculation on what exactly James' family did?  I've read 
each of the books twice and I feel like I'm still missing something.  Then my 
other question has to do with pure bloods and interconnections between 
families.  Harry must have other family members somewhere in the wizarding world 
shouldn't he?  After reading all of the connections to and within the Black family 
it seems strange that Harry would be the absolute end of the Potter blood 
line.  

This is my first post and I can honestly say that I've loved this list !  
Hoping to participate more in the future.
