Besides the Fawcett girl, what about the Lockhart fan
Gladys Gudgeon and the boy who lost his eye to the
whomping willow, Davey Gudgeon? Any possible
relationships?

This one's not exactly discussion material, but I just
want to point out that unless I am mistaken and middle
names mean a different thing in Britain, or Lily and
Petunia's maiden name is James, I think what JKR
intends to tell us when she said that 'James' is
Harry's middle name, is that 'James' is part of
Harry's given name -- a second-name or
whatchamacallit. Harry's full name is clearly Harry
James Evans Potter, with Evans as his middle name, not
James. Where I live, at least, the mother's maiden
name is the child's middle name. Just correct me if
I'm wrong somewhere in my reasoning.
