Geoff:
We have pointed out before, in the Mark Evans threads for example, 
that it is possible that there might be cousins a few times removed 
who are relatives but about whom Harry knows nothing. The Dursleys 
might know of thm but have failed to mention them or they may not 
even know themselves.

I have second cousins whoes existence was unknown to me until about 
ten years ago and whom I met for the first time last year.
