Tonks:

The Potters died a least a week or so before the Longbottoms ended 
up in St. Mungo's. Harry was taken to Petunia's house within 24 
hours of the death of Lily and James. Therefore if Alice was a 
Potter, Harry would have had some other blood relative that he could 
have gone with besides Petunia. But Petunia was the only one left. 
So the Alice Potter idea is out too.
