Background Characters coming to the Foreground?

No: HPFGUIDX 27931

Few of the backgrounders I think will come to the forefront are:

Neville: as we see he has steadliy gaining "strength" in each book. He 
can't have such a powerful grandmother for nothing.

Petunia: the "dark looks" she gives Vernon regarding magic. When Harry 
pretends to curse Dudley, Petunia "knows" that it was not real but she 
throws the frying pan anyway. I think Petunia will inherit her magical 
tendancies as an adult.

House-elves: We still don't know about the "strong" magic. Maybe they 
will all be released in order to aid in the fight against evil.

Dumbledore's Angels: Cho, Angelina and Fleur they are very brave 

The Creevey's: there are two of them now. They're kinda creepy

Hmmmm I'll have to think of more
