it with the Sorting Hat or is he a neighbor on Privet Drive?

Carol:
It's in the "Dudley Demented" chapter of OoP. The significant points
are Mark Evans' age (ten at that time; eleven at the beginning of the
next book and therefore the right age for Hogwarts if the turns out to
be a Muggleborn rather than a Muggle); the name Evans in the same book
where we learn that Lily Potter's maiden name was Evans; and a general
feistiness ("cheeking" Dudley) that reminds some of us of Harry.

I for one expect to see little Mark in the Sorting Hat scene in Book 6
and believe him to be a distant relation of Harry's (whom Dumbledore
doesn't know about about because his parents are Muggles).
