[HPforGrownups] Lestrange's child?/ Seven Weasley Children/ missing daughter theory

First of all, it was theorized that the LeStranges could in fact have a
child.  But who?  Cho Chang was mentioned, but I doubt it.  What about
Viktor Krum?  I just find it strange that the person who he held dearest (or
whatever the wording was) in the second task was a girl he had only met a
few months before.  But if he indeed had no close relations, and only had
those who he had been raised by it would be different.  He, being eighteen,
would've been about four at the time of the fall of Voldemort.  The
LeStranges were sentenced to Azkaban sometime after that,(for the torture of
the Longbottoms probably).  In which case he may have been at least five or
six.  Old enough to remember his real family and know that whoever raised
him was, no matter how well they cared for him, they weren't his own family.

Now in other things:

Err, actually I know several people who keep trying for a boy.  Not past
three or four girls, mostly, but as the Weasleys live entirely in the WW,
who knows how different things might be.  There are, in fact, people who
simply like to have kids.  Then there are those who desperately want a
girl/boy, and keep trying.  I can think of at least three couples that fit
that profile.

I believe her things were bought second hand.  So not new, but not hand me
downs either.  Which makes me wonder, couldn't a girl wear a boy's robe?  In
TMTCNBN the robes all look alike.  But do you think they're supposed to be
different for boys/girls?
