I do think Mark is connected somehow to Lily and Petunia.  I don't 
think JKR would pick the name Evans if he wasn't.  (Though I suppose 
it could be deliberate misdirection.)

I don't think he's a brother though. First of all, there is no way 
he could be a brother if Lily's parents were dead when Lily was 
killed.  That was four years before he was born.

Secondly, even if Lily and Petunia's more was only 20 when Lily was 
born, she'd be about 47 when Mark was born.  I know that's not 
impossible, but it doesn't happen often.

I suppose their mother could have been younger than 20 when Lily was 
born, but I doubt it because I think Petunia is a few years older 
than Lily (though I have no proof).
