Geoff:

Well, there's this for starters.....

"'Yes,' said Professor McGonagall, 'And I don't suppose you're going 
to tell me why you're here, of all places?'
'I've come to bring Harry to his aunt and uncle. They're the /only 
family/ he has left now.'

(PS "The Boy Who Lived" p.15 UK edition)

Although, as I have said more than once before, there might be 
cousins etc. further across the family tree who are rather distant in 
genealogical terms. I have quoted my own example of finding second 
cousins about ten years ago when my father died, of whom I had no 
knowledge.
