Jenjar:
Forgive my ignorance but...who is Mark Evans?
 
Tip:
Mark Evans lives in the Dursley's neighborhood (I believe Dudley's 
gang is beating him up) and he is mentioned at the beginning of OotP.
 
Carol:
Well, yes, but the key points (as Jenjar has probably discovered by
now) are that he's ten years old at the beginning of OoP (just the
right age to attend Hogwarts in the next book) and he shares Lily's
last name (her maiden name). Since JKR doesn't usually throw in names
with no reason, we've speculated that he may be a Muggle-born wizard
distantly related to Harry. The pros and cons have already been
thoroughly discussed, but I though it would be useful to explain why I
mentioned him in the post Jenjar was referring to.

Carol, who thinks Mark is the great-grandson of a Squib who was also
Lily's and Petunia's grandfather (or something of that sort)
