Steve replied: <<<<The Fat Friar is identified as the ghost of Hufflepuff in SS.
Ravenclaw's ghost is a little harder to spot, but she does appear unnamed in
SS12. JKR showed some of her notes on the Today Show and after Ravenclaw,
clearly legible, it said "Gray Lady." She said it also in an interview and
mentioned that she had appeared in one of the books without being named.>>>

Being a little bit nitpicky here it is more likely to have said 'Grey Lady'. I
would be very surprised if Jo did not use the British spelling of grey.

An interesting side note would be this. If Prof. Binns has been at the school
for a long time, long enough to die (quiet literally) and do his best to bore
students to death, why is he not a house head. Or did they take this
responsibility away from him when he died. How long has he been dead? Will he
ever do anything useful? Or is he there to remind us all of those horrible
teachers/lecturers that we have had to put up with?
