Carol: 
Well, yes, but this is only one of several references, some of which
say "relative" rather than "family." And Petunia as his closest
(blood) relative is more important than the Dursleys as "family."
Interesting that "family" here includes Uncle Vernon, who is *not* a
blood relation. Hm.

Carol:
I agree. I've been arguing for some five posts now that Mark Evans is
Harry's second cousin or something of the sort.

Carol:
One small problem: In order for Mark and Harry to be first cousins,
Mark's father would have to be their brother. If Mark's father is
their father's brother (their uncle), Mark would be Lily and Petunia's
first cousin and Harry's first cousin once removed. It's simpler all
around if Mark's father is Lily and Petunia's slightly younger first
cousin, which would make Mark and Harry second cousins.

U_P_D again

Keeping in mind what JKR has said about not introducing new characters in the last two books. I think she would be very naughty to give Lilly and Petunia a brother at this stage. I would settle for first cousin once removed and how about his dad being married to a muggle born witch he met through Lilly.
