I have to disagree with you here... I am a person who personally has 
no living relatives...
It isn't impossible if you are the only child of only children... 
esp. if they had few living relatives. 
You also need to think about cases in modern history where whole 
families have been whiped out (the Shoah,the Nazi genocide of the 
Sinti, the genocide in Rwanda, the 'ethnic-cleansing in the Balkans, 
Pol Pot's genocide, etc.). 
If Voldemort's last reign of terror is as bad as we hear in the 
books, I think it could have been a sort of genocidal event for 
Wizardkind.
