I searched through the old threads, as I have been hiding in lurkdom 
(first time poster here, be gentle) and am afraid of posting 
something repetitive.  However, I did not see anyone post on 
speculating what different symbols mean for magical ability/lineage.  

One symbol that is intriguing is the circle, because it appears in 
both the third (magical ability) column and the forth (house) 
column.  Could this be the link to the parents?  I thought, in the 
house column, that the circle could mean that their parents were in 
the same house.  However, this theory was smashed when a friend of 
mine pointed out that neither Crabbe or Goyle have circles around 
Slytherin.

The circle also drew my eyes to some interesting connections.  Crabbe 
and Goyle both have a Star of David in a circle, then an uncircled S 
for Slytherin.  Seamus and Lavender almost had identical markings 
(circled Star of David, circled G for Gryffindor), but it seemed like 
the circle around Seamus's star has been scratched out.  Anyone see 
any other interesting links?  

One more question before I stop this confusing post- could the Star 
of David mean pureblood, or something else related to lineage?  I 
could not see Hermione to judge this theory, but from the screenshots 
I can see that Justin has a boxed in N for a symbol.
