Spooning: is it inappropriate with extended family?
If an uncle wanted to spoon with his 4-7 year old niece, but she didn't want to, yet he "made" her, how far is that beyond the realm of normal?
Is there a case in which it would not be creepy or inappropriate?
If that is remembered, should it be looked further into or would it be best for one just to leave it at that?
Additionally, if this did happen and one had other memories that s/he was unsure about with said uncle, would it be safe to say that the other things vaguely remembered, but not certainly recalled, happened?

I certainly think it's inappropriate. I think any kind of physical relationship that the child was uncomfortable with that was forced upon her would be unacceptable. It's possible the uncle didn't have bad intentions, but you would know that better than we would. If you're referring to yourself in this situation, I think it's your choice as to whether you're prepared to look further into things that have happened in the past, and whether you think addressing them will bring you peace. I really don't have the knowledge on this topic or the qualifications to advise you, but I wish for the best.

No. Spooning is done ONLY between "consenting adults."
BTW... this really is not an ETIQUETTE question... but thanks for asking!
Have a polite day.
Etiquette takes over where laws end.
