I think not, because Neville says (book 1, chapter 7 "The Sorting 
Hat"): "Great Uncle Algie was so pleased he bought me my toad."

May I fall to my knees and worship you? Having That List made 
available to us is some kind of incredible miracle, even if it does 
ruin some lovely theories.

If only She hadn't said so firmly that Hogwarts is the only wizarding 
school in Britain! The contradiction between 250-300 students at 
Hogwarts but 1000-some kids that age are needed to keep up the 
population, would be easily resolved if there were three other, 
lesser, wizarding schools the same size as Hogwarts, or one the same 
size (in Ireland) and one twice as large (somewhere in Britain).

Boy or girl?

But book 1 chapter 7 says: "MacDougal, Morag" before Malfoy. If 
McDougal, MacDougal, Malfoy, and Moon are the four Ms (McDougal on 
the first page, three on the second page), then surely McDougal 
should be AFTER MacDougal and Malfoy in alphabetical order.

Could the last of those S's be a T for "Thomas, Dean"?
