I'm pretty certain this has not been mentioned before but I may be wrong:
OK this is a totally ridiculous Question but I have been re reading some of the books and it is beginning to get on my nerves that we keep seeing the name Fawcett mentioned but that each mention is far enough apart from the last one to "not notice" it.
Book 4, we are told that the Fawcetts Live somewhere near the Wealsey's but they "couldn't get tickets. (Pg 68 UK) This shows that there are a family of Fawcetts somewhere near Ottery St Catchpole.
Book 2, there is a "Miss Fawcett" at the Duelling club (Pg 144 UK). This is a female who is in either the year below or one of the years above Harry.
Book 4 There is a Fawcett in the bushes that Snape blasts at the Yule Ball, a female Fawcett who is in Hufflepuff. (Pg 371 UK).
There is another reference that I can't find now in book 4 (it is before "the House elf liberation front" but after they arrive at Hogwarts). This one also mentions a Fawcett in Hufflepuff though, has anyone noticed any other references whether to Fawcetts or to "unknown" characters who keep cropping up rather a lot?
I know this seems totally irrelevant but there is a point to all this. I was just wondering if perhaps these people might become more important in future books. Not main characters but people who may become involved with the fight against LV who are not concentrated on but mentioned in passing (on either side or with the ministry). They may just become a background character that we know some stuff about but not too much. I know this is driving the "Mrs Figg (baby sitter) is the same as Mrs Figg (old crowd)" idea of name dropping to new levels of ridiculousness but this doesn't seem to happen with many other names so why does this one crop up so often (like the Bone's being killed and then Susan Bones being in Harry's year)
I just find it odd that this names crops up so often and yet they aren't a character that we know anything about.
Now you can all tell me I'm too obsessed
HOLLYDAZE!!!
