In Voldy's speech to the DEs(aside from Wormtail) he singles out
Malfoy, Macnair, Avery, Nott, Crabbe and Goyle(he also mentions the
Lestranges, who are in Azkaban). We know that Malfoy, Crabbe, and
Goyle have sons in Harry's year at Hogwarts. There is also a Nott
sorted in SS, but we don't know what gender or house. Unfortunately
I don't have a copy of SS with me (I borrowed it when I read it, and
the copy I ordered has not yet been delivered) so I cannot check the
sorting scene to see if there was also a Mcnair and an Avery. Still,
4 out of 6 seems a high number, especially as we know that 3 of that
4 are boys Harry's age. It has also been theorized that the number
of students in Harry's year is smaller due to Voldy's activities at
the time they would have been babies.
To put out a really wild theory, what if all the Slytherins in
Harry's year are the children of DE's. We have no reason to suspect
this, but it would be an interesting turn of events. In any case, we
do know that Draco is Lucius' son, and it seems likely that the
Crabbe and Goyle(Harry's age) are the sons of Crabbe and Goyle(DEs).
These do not strike me as highly common names, such as Smith and
Jones. For those who have been following the symbols from JKR's BBC
interview, do you think they could be related to the affiliation of
those students' parents?
Just something to think about, probably completely off base-Christi
