Mark Evans?

Valerie,

Sorry - nothing to do with the films. In OotP, a child called "Mark 
Evans" appeared in the beginning. People on the HP4GU main board 
begain to speculate that he had a significant role to play in the 
whole series on the basis that he shared Lily Evan's surname. Whole 
elaborate theories and stories were created surrounding this 
character. JKR finally 'fessed up that Mark Evans was just a name 
that she thought up for a minor background character and that he has 
nothing whatsoever to do with anything that subsequently happens in 
the books. My point being, of course that often the fans get a *tad* 
carried away and make several mountain ranges out of molehills.
