I did hear her mention this at a reading in Glasgow a few months 
after the publication of Goblet of Fire.  JKR, in response to a 
question, was explaining how there was an awful lot of background

together but that sometimes things slipped through, like Marcus Flint 
who had stayed on a year too long.
