JKR said that one of the things her list of Harry's classmates 
indicated was parentage. Look at middle column. Some students 
have "N" surrounded by a square, and some have stars (sometimes 
circled, sometimes not).  The key, I think, is Seamus Finnigan.  He 
said in PS/SS that his dad is a muggle and his mom is a witch.  
Seamus's symbol is a star which is circled, and then 1/2 of the 
circle is made into star.  1/2 a star; 1/2 magical parentage.  So, 
perhaps the stars are magical parents.  Look who has the "N" symbol 
instead-- Hermione and Justin Finch-Fletchley, both of whom have non-
magical parents.  Does anyone know if the other 3 "N's" on the list 
are muggle-born?
