As well as his surname, I'm fascinated by Mark's first name. 

'Mark'. 

He isn't marked by a scar, but by a name. After all, Harry could so 
easily have been nicknamed 'Mark' Potter.

And Mark is beaten up by Dudley, just as Harry was. And has Harry's 
mother's name as his surname. 

Is 'Mark Evans' a mirror of 'Harry Potter'?
