Snape's Witch:

Jo's website began in May 2004.  It's my recollection that she 
announced the birthdays as the specific dates came up.  I know that 
was the case with Snape's; he first appeared on the list on Jan. 9, 
2005, and, yes, has been 'caked' every year since then.  

Thanks for verifying my point about Draco being added just before HBP 
was published. :-)  

So far *everybody* on the list has reappeared and personally I have 
no doubt that they will continue to appear.

devoutly hoping that the birthday list is indeed the list of survivors
