Not to mention the number of families with only one child. Perhaps 
its just because its simplier to write, but the only siblings that 
we know of are the Weasleys, the Creeveys, the Blacks, the Evans' 
the Dumbledores and the Patils (who only sort of count because the 
girls are twins).

Bookworm:
According to the "Extra Stuff/Edits" on JKR's website,
Dean Thomas has "a number of half-brothers and sisters."  

Mostly likely they are all muggles and just aren't important to
the story, so we haven't heard about them, i.e. JKR doesn't
waste valuable page-room on non-essentials like extra siblings  :-)

Huntergreen:
James had to get all that
> money from somewhere. I wonder if he had inheritence too?

Josh:
I do believe James' inheritance has already been mentioned in a
chat/interview. It's just hard to always find this stuff! :)

>From an interview back in 2000:
<<Q: What did James and Lily Potter do when they were alive?
A: 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. >>
