Yes, it has been stated that Harry's only living relatives were the
Dursleys but if JKR was going to put a surprise relative in the books
she wouldn't announce it ahead of time. She wouldn't say "The Dursleys
are Harry's only living relatives (besides the new surprise relative I
will bring into the story in a later book)." It is quite possible that
Mark Evans is a long lost relative that no one knew about. As a 
writer, JKR is not going to let all the secrets out at once. So IMHO 
I do not believe it matters that we have been told the Dursleys are 
Harry's only relatives.

Does anyone wonder why Petunia only has one son? What if she did have 
another son but this son was born magical? Did DD help Petunia out by 
placing this child with another family?  Did he wipe all memory of 
this child from Mr. Dursley, Harry, and Dudley?  And did he remind 
her of this favor when she received the howler? What did Dudley 
remember when he was attacked by the Dementors?  Does he remember a 
brother being taken away? 

I really hope that this Mark Evans was not born in July. I also hope 
that he is not another version of Tom Riddle, shrunk to babysize at 
the DoM, and given another chance for a happy life.
