Hi everyone,

This is my first post.  And it's a relief to know that if it's not deemed 
appropriate, it will be yanked before you all see it.   I've been lurking for 
awhile, and you folks impress me with your knowlege and your theories.

I've been re-reading book 4 and when Voldemort mentions the followers that 
are there, he mentions Crabbe and Goyle.  I'm assuming they are the fathers 
of Draco's buddies.  Then, he mentiones the name "Nott."  

Nott, seems to be almost as cowtowed and toady as Wormtail, with his immediet 
response of, "My Lord, I prostrate myself before you, I am your most faithful 
--" 

Of course, it could be fear.

But I don't ever remember this person being mentioned in the books before.  
Did I miss something, or is he just a character thrown in to "give LV another 
follower." 

Can anyone shed any light on this mystery?  Also, I don't remember ever 
mentioning Crabbe and Goyle much.  Except as Draco's pals.  But I don't 
recall them ever mentioning their families and things like that.  

Warmest Wishes
Darqstar
