Hee, I love that guy.  He's some singer, I think, who wanted a cameo,
but my friends and I decided that he was, in fact, an Unspeakable In
Training, seeing as the Department of Mysteries researches space and
time and things like that.  I think he was more meant to be an
intersection of the real world and JKR's world - sort of like when
hunchback!Tom pulls the car keys out of his pocket and turns off the
car alarm - but, well, I still call him the Unspeakable.  (And my
favorite part about that whole scene is that he's *stirring the coffee
without touching the spoon.*)
