Potioncat:
Well, as to the first question, the "blood" relative needs to be on 
Lily's side. Harry could have IMO, distant Potter relatives or 
distant Mrs. Potter's maiden name relatives. But they wouldn't count 
in the blood protection.

I don't think it's that hard to come up with no relatives on one 
side, or as Geoff says, there could be Evans relatives "further out" 
but at what point does the blood connection become too thin?
