Greetings all. Just a thought.

I was reading the famous list of HP's year characters (BBC) at 
http://www.fictionalley.org/harryandme/ and I've noticed that:

(i) The original surname of Hermione* was something like "Puck..." or 
"Prick..." -- this surname is crossed, and there is a "Grange.." above it.
(*) not a spontaneous name.

(ii) Perhaps Neville Longbottom's original surname was "Puff"; there is a 
"W(?)...b(o)tt..." above the crossed "Puff". Possible implication: Neville 
was a Huflepuff at the first stage of creation.
This would explain a lot of things... his proficiency in Herbology, the 
difficulties of the Sorting Hat, the lack of notes after his name at the 
first page of Rowling's manuscript...

Is there any other photo of the manuscript?
