Alla:

I could be wrong, very very wrong, but I am not even sure if it is a 
distant cousin, Sherry. I think on her website JKR said that she was 
planning such character to show up in the books, but then decided to 
put some other character in instead. Was it Luna? Not sure.

In any event, I heard the distant cousin somewhere, but I don't 
remember either which book mentions it. IF it is mentioned in the 
books at all.

I think Arthur would go visit even a distant cousin, personally.

JMO,
