Very well stated. All too often, I see prohibitions on relatives carried over to mean "Anyone who doesn't have siblings mentioned is an only child," "Anyone who doesn't have parents mentioned is an orphan," etc.

We do know from JKR that Draco is an only child, but for all we know his Granddad Abraxas and Granny Whatever see him every summer. Pansy Parkinson could well have a sister named Hyacinth or something. If it's plausible and not directly contradicted by canon, then unknown relatives are fine.

I love the idea of Dung having an embarrassed daughter, who maybe took a job in Romania just so that she could get away from her dad's bad reputation...
