La Gatta Lucianese:

Canon, please? I  just checked out Mr. and Mrs. Potter in the HPL, 
and nowhere does it say boo about Mrs. Potter's maiden name. Or Mr. 
Potter's first name.

Under the Black family tree ( http://www.hp-
lexicon.org/wizards/blackfamilytree.html ), there's a Dorea Black who 
married a Charles Potter and produced a single son, but since she was 
57 at the time of her death, hardly "elderly, even by wizarding 
standards" (TLC), she is probably not James' mother.

I believe it was the Weasleys that had relatively close ties to the 
Blacks in canon.
