  "16) (X) Nott -- A stooped figure in Goyle, Sr's shadow when Voldemort 
  does his DE roll call.  Prostrates himself before Voldemort and 
  claims fealty to his master. A post in HPfGU Archives recall that a 
  Nott, Jr. goes through the Sorting Ceremony since Harry's arrival at 
  Hogwarts.

  This last one has me curious, because the name is thrown in as an 
  aside, much the same way we see Arabella Figg's and Mundungus 
  Fletcher's names get tucked unobtrusively into the tapestry JKR is 
  weaving.

  So here's my question -- any theories as to what role Nott & family --
  or other little-known DEs -- will play in the future storyline?"  

  It's not really related to Nott in particular but I wonder if something similar is going to be revealed about the Bones. Remember Susan Bones in the sorting? In another book (eek, can't remember which, can anyone else?) it says the Bones were killed by DEs. JKR was asked in an interview/chat if there was any connection between them, and JKR answered that the Bones couple killed were Susan's grandparents. 

  Wonder if they'll turn up later? Perhaps they were members of the "Old Crowd"...woo...
