Mark Evans two nights ago--"

and they are very hard to find.  There seem to be many neighbors in 
the Privet Drive area who live double lives,  or seem to be hiding.  
I know it has been said Harry has no living relatives, but that does 
not seem logical.  Also, if this Mark Evans is 10 years old now, he 
should be 11 for the next book.  Who knows, maybe he will show up at 
Hogwarts?

Geoff:
When I first joined the group a few months ago, there were quite a 
lot of posts at the time involving him; I had overlooked the 
commonality of names when I first read it. Being, like you, puzzled, 
I entered "Mark Evans" into the Search Archive and got a long string 
of post references. That might be a good start point.

It would be quite fun if Harry discovered that he had a cousin or 
similar at the school!
