You've totally nullified your opinion by selecting all of them.
Please please please do. Playing dress-up with Alan is a great reason for writing fic.
Ah, I never kept a diary. I'm smart like that. My siblings had to be content with stealing my money. Oh, he did mention his mother once to Denny, when explaining his fear of clowns. I don't think they're going to introduce his family, though. I wish they'd give some more backstory, but I doubt that as well. The "Alan is good! Really!" stuff (which I can only take in small doses) I take as their way of establishing him as the firm's conscience.
The one way the older sister thing makes sense...there's this movie called Roger Dodger (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0299117/) and the main character is basically a slightly sleazier (and meaner) version of Alan. He has a sister who's several years older than him and in the movie there's a discussion of how his parents never expected to have him. I could definitely see that and then his nephew could come to town and Alan could try to get him laid. Anyway, you should check out the movie. It has dialogue like "Is it your goal in life to humiliate yourself?" "No, it's more of a hobby, really."
I was thinking along those lines. Oh, little!Ray. That thief.
