Maybe there were many more, but they all died? We only have a limited
list of names so far, but I suspect the devastation was rather wider
than explicitly stated.

For example, the Dursleys are Harry's only living relatives. Yet there
were loads of them in the MoE. So where did the rest of them go?
Killed in VM1 would be my best guess.
