How about Tom Marvolo Nemis (a sort of nickname for Nemesis?) Ryddle?

I thought this rumor came from a months-old shot of the trophy case, 
where the name Tom =Riddell= was visible.  I also figured someone, 
maybe JKR herself, would inform the propmaster/mistress that this wee 
little, easy-to-make spelling error was going to cause problems down 
the line.  (This is a mistake no American could make, because we 
don't know how to pronounce English names like Riddell and Liddell; 
we tend to put the accent on the second syllable.)  Was it Riddell or 
Ryddle?  Can anyone direct us to a website with this photo?

Lumen Dei, I love your notes on Expecto Patronum.  Will hie myself 
over to your website shortly.

The speculation on whom Dumbledore calls by first name when is very 
interesting, but to anyone who is thinking it's a skinny branch to 
hang a theory on, and I wouldn't blame you, I just want to say that 
we know Dumbledore and Moody are friends because GF says so in so 
many words.  Or to be absolutely, nitpickingly precise, one of the 
Weasleys says so.
