Carol:
A theory which I had rejected. :-) See my "slight problem" comment
above. I happen to think that Mark Evans is a distant relative of
Harry's who will show up as a Muggle-born wizard at Hogwarts in Book
6. As for Voldemort somehow harming Petunia's family, I agree that
that's probable. But the whole "Mark Evans is Harry's grandfather"
idea can't work because Harry's maternal grandfather was a Muggle.
Clear now, I hope?

Carol, who pleads guilty to insufficient snipping, which may have
muddled the clarity (or at least the intended context) of my last
response.
