No, I'm counting Petunia and Dudley, Vernon doesn't enter into it.
Think about it, you have 2 parents 4 grandparents and 8 great great
grand parents; after a thousand years and 40 generations the number
becomes huge. HUGE! That's why you're almost certainly related to the
Emperor Charlemagne; but as I said before I'm just nitpicking and JKR
is still a genius of the first magnitude. In the really important
stuff JKR got it right.

Jeremiah:
LOL. It's hillarious that I would have counted it that way.
Yes, now I see where you were going with the idea that there should have
been someone in the magical workd who would have had some scrap of Lilly's
bloodline and be able to house Harry as a baby. It's sort of like how the
Ms. Weasley is a Prewett. Weren't her borthers killed by LV or some DE's?
(Or were they cousinc.. anyway...) so, now I understand that there should
have been some "Potter" kin to have taken him in and given him a home. But I
think Dumbledore was working on the Mother's magic (and I understand that
JKR would think a mother's love is more imprtant... though I have a loving
father and I think I would be a very loving dad given the chance...) So, she
put Harry in Lilly's family and that's where things are still strange...
What happened to Lilly and Petunia's parents? I know that I lost my
Grandmother when I was in my 20's so maybe Lilly's grandparents are dead.
So, I guess that would only leave Petunia. (*sigh* sadness...)

Is that what you were saying? Because I would think that James' death would
be just as important to Harry's livelyhood, giving him protection seeing as
how James died for both his wife and son... So what happened to the Potter
line? Where are Ma and Pa Potter?

And you're right about there being lots and lots of family for Harry. I
think he sees hundreds of them when he looks into the Mirror of Erised. The
room was full. (in the movie they just have his mom & dad).
